Some time ago, Sr Lal Krishna Advani cautioned BJP seniors, “We made the mistake of underestimating the mother, don’t do the same with him”. I wrote on the occasion, – why Rahul Gandhi is destine for the most powerful office of the country. Below are some extracts for your party supporters.
Initially the opponents like BJP and RSS supporters were dismissive of the Rahul factor as inexperience ‘babalog’ (youngsters) and attributed successes to his good looks and youth. But, addressing the key party loyalists and managers he warned that it would be a mistake to dismiss Rahul Gandhi.
Their argument was that that “undue credit’ is given to him without doing anything spectacular or brilliant. But Rahul Gandhi’s impressive performance in the local state election that brought caused some uneasiness amongst his opponents.
The fear is growing as Rahul popularity is evident in rural India amongst the younger generation. It is no more secret that the Secretary of the Congress Party is most likely contender to the office of the Prime Minister. Now it is a regular pastime to point out that he lacks a macro view of the complexities involved in governance. A leading opponent commented, “one cannot understand the country merely by spending a night in a Dalit home!”
In public life often those who are sincere and determined do spend time with the people that matters to the voters. The late PM, Smt Indira Gandhi came to power with no relevant experience as a Minister and went on to becoming one the most formidable political figure. Rajiv Gandhi, her elder son, a quite unassuming figure just wanting to be a pilot ended up being a Prime Minister of India and left the legacy of the IT revolution. A bacon which became fundamental for India’s leading position in the world today.
The grandson is a ‘chip of the old block’ and knows value of building experience and local knowledge as a competent General Secretary should. There is nothing wrong to spend few hours in the home of a villager living in extreme poverty or digging roads in the Indian hot summer with the labourers to see how it feel. In an interview Rahul explained that we know the problems, but it is more important to share with them what the local solutions, often provides simple answers which are both realistic and workable.
After the general election fiasco, many BJP activist when asked would murmur, “We wish our leaders would have done the same to save us from such an embarrassment!” Party managers kick themselves for relying on support from their loyal media friends and singling out Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Sigh for personal attacks without offering any significant policy issues that matters to millions of voters.
‘Discovering India’, seems to be in the DNS of the family. Mahatma Gandhi spent travelling India precisely to see the ‘relevance’ to the meaning the needs of the people. From the late Diana who was named as the ‘people’s princess to the civil rights leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, all had one thing common. They took the time to be with ordinary people.
There is no doubt that the reluctant leader; politely refusing to confirm his desire to join the Government is preparing for is entry at the right time.
India has now at the new historical corner stone with the economic and technological progress. Modern politics and leadership demands advanced understanding and quality counsel for managing governance and policy in the world of complex globalisation.
He has taken bolder route to equip himself with a team of advisers who are drawn from business management expertise. Amongst them are Kanishka Singh, Sachin Rao, from Michigan Business School; and the Newsweek International editor Fareed Zakaria in foreign policy-related matters with Dalit affairs expert Dr Sudha Pai of the JNU all, providing expert counsel. His advisor-in-chief, however, continues to be his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. He is known to maintain appropriate relationship with senior members in the party to ensure he does not loose out on experience, but seemed to rely more on his own peer group.
The political wind is more favourable for Rahul considering the state of the BJP, often described as a parry degenerating in to a dysfunctional political family. Their veteran leader Mr Advani are approaching near sun set time in their career as the Gandhi dynasty once gain seeing its rising start blooming. The Chief Minister of Gujarat State Mr Narendra Modi, once thought of a Prime Ministerial material saw his hopes dashed since the Godhra incident that ignited attacks on him. Last year in February during the war of words Mr Modi compared the Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to a “small fish” in an aquarium. In the General Election that followed, Mr Modi along with Advani were blamed for the disastrous result for their party by othe BJP leaders.
The political future of the BJP seems doomed! Entry into the politics through the ‘right-wing’ gate, Mr Varun Gandhi, the son of Indira Gandhi’s second son, will prove a temporary nuisance for Rahul. Prediction may prove true that VG would be used as an ideal pawn against Rahul by the anti-Nehru Gandhi dynasty factions. The RSS most likely to dump him after restructuring its strategy to find a new creditable alterative to the tired old BJP!
Youth on his side, Rahul undoubtedly has a natural advantage over his opponents. His cousin, VG rides on a narrow single issue based on sectarian and communal interests. Rahul’s cry for a stake of the poor Indians in the economic success story of the country is already appealing the masses. The trump card in his strategy is the talks of ‘one India’ for all the people”. With ever growing army of skilled and educated younger generation looking for a new vision for their future, he is right on the spot to build his base with the help of such as Dr Jayeram, expert in team and leadership building.
His controversial wisdom to go-it–alone, once regarded as a blunder finally has paid off at the general election. Mr Pratap Mehta, President of Centre for Policy Research – a Think-Tank in Delhi commented at the time, “This is Rahul’s moment”. My thoughts are that his vision for ‘one India’ for every one is a new cry for a strong united country. It seats comfortable with its diversity which in time may proven a new welcome attraction to the masses of the disillusioned generation across many cities and villages in India.
The agenda of communal and sectarian politics is a significant threat to India’s economic progress and indeed unity of the nation. What impresses me is his faith in the human talent in India’s poorest states which he regards as good as anywhere else exposes a clear inclusive policy that is long over due in the Indian politics. Far from a view from with in an aquarium, he seemed to be embracing the new and modern world of pro-market forces while seeing it as an opportunity for the poor to have a stake in the success stories.
His biggest challenge will be to avoid the trap of hubris and managing those inevitable flatters. Then, of course the Party President Mrs Sonia Gandhi is beside him to shore up necessary support to over come the hurdles. And, what is wrong if she does that?

Success in Politics has always been about effective communication. Hiring microphones to across villages, pasting posters on walls and getting noticed in print and sound media that has made significant deference in winning and loosing. I must give credit to Sr Narendra Modi’s team for using modern media technology effectively. He knows that thousands of Gujarati living abroad access internet as well in the Country. Particularly, he is not underestimating their potential impact on the opinion in Gujarat where every village has some one in either UK or USA.
For example the Black Book is in Gujarati. It has daring exposure and relevant questions in its contents. It should also be in English and goggle search friendly.

sir , i want to talk with you so can you give me your contect number
MR SHANKARSINGH VAGHELA next president of Gujarat congress
The recent municipal elections has shown the strength of the Modi Administration. Regardless of chromaticism, he is becoming a strong administrative brand in politics and knows how to market himself and his deeds. But that is the nature of politics. In politics it would a folly to underestimate the capacity of your opponent. No general will go to a battle without knowing weakness of his own side and preparation to match the strength of the enemy. A very important lesson to be learn out of the defeat.
The size of wipe out tells a story of the state of the party. Its vision is not compatible with what the average voters wants. Secondly, it shows development of its supporters has been at its ‘weakest’ point and opportunistic to be able to cultivate local situation into gains.
It is easy to blame the reliability of the electronic voting machines for the bias. But in local elections, usually the voter punish the party in power. If that is lost, the opposition needs to go back to drawing board as soon as possible. Unfortunately, politics in India is largely based on personality cult and emotions charged on sectarian and religious preferences. In the many developed countries people shift bend the party that pays attention to ‘economy’ and management of public services as much as infrastructure development to meet the demands of tomorrow. But then, that is the nature of the beast and one needs to have strategy and plan for influencing the changes. It means the quality of debate that a party can generate within it self to be able to project that image that fits in comfortable with the aspirations of the voters.
Most of the criticisms of the party leaders are based on petty point scoring and power struggle without any consideration for contributing towards leading lessons and making effort to redress real weaknesses. Every one I have spoken, says Gujarat Congress needs to overcome factionalism to win favouring hands from the high command.
It needs to have substance.
Gujarat once was a castle of Congress. Today Gujarat is virtually, to put it mildly in the shadow of Shaka of Sangh parivar that is subtle influence controlled by the RSS from south of Mumbai. Not an agenda of Gujarat. What ever its is, that is proving attractive to business, finance, industry and rural farming communities. That is why the municipality elections may have been lost.
Gujarat Congress has no track in the United Kingdom or USA while Modidada has a huge followers through his master strategy of promoting his brand abroad despite being able to visit USA or UK. Not that he bothers to do so. To be frank, when you bump into those claiming to be friends of congress have little or no concerns about the party. It means the party has ignored largest pool of Gujarati with links in almost every village and town of Gujarat at its peril. It is not connecting with them.
It is not good enough to point fingering at Sidharthbhai or Shaktisinh Gohilji alone, the defeat is a sad refection on all those managers of the party at the central base as much as those at regional commands.
I see, Modisaheb now more leaning towards Gandhiji and that is even more dangerous for the Congress. Successful party spends time and resources in studying opponents skills and art of leadership to measure the challenge.
Congress needs to create that aahaa.. feeling amongst the voters. Or it is not too long before the general elections….
