Politics for picnic
Be it any state election, one political party hangs on two names only making all other leaders of the party invisible. They forget that for two terms, the party emerged as the single largest party in Lok Sabha and formed UPA to rule India for a decade on the basis mainly of the hard work and charisma of Sonia Gandhi. She still has the great political acumen and potential to turn the tables. While pinning hopes on Rahul or Priyanka, our political pundits often forget certain crucial factors with which these persons have grown up. Their uncle Sanjay Gandhi died in a air crash, and their grand-mother and father were brutally murdered , while they were still children. They were raised up in fear with substantial restrictions. Their psyche needs to be understood as they have not been consistent in politics. So far neither Rahul nor Priyanka have shown any seriousness and attribute ,which can predict their rise in political horizons. Both of them have taken things for granted as if the power will fall in their laps one day automatically. In the last UP elections, Priyanka had campaigned extensively, but in a picnic mode, and what were the results ? Congress was no where. The call for Priyanka's enhanced political role is only a cry of the faceless and stunted sycophants for the attention for more importance .Depending on Priyanka alone would mean that the congress will have faster negative growth. Ordinary congressman will have to work in the same spirit as during the freedom struggle, to rule India, once again.
