Rahul Gandhi has emerged as the choice of country
Share: As the tally started emerging and increasing for Congress Party last election
, not only party workers but common man also rose into jubilance and suddenly nation wore a festive mood. Sikandar Alam, an auto-rickshaw driver in Delhi, recited doggerel in praise of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to anyone who cared to listen. "A new leader has been born [Rahul] and under his wisdom, India will shine like a star while his mother, like a great tree, gives us shade, fruit and protection," he recited loudly, to the amusement of party workers.
This time also when some of the states are going to observe democratic festival by undertaking large ballot-exercise which ultimately decides the course of nation and state. With the opposition in tatters and lost in inner squabbling, Rahul Gandhi has emerged as the country's choice with people ranging from youth to experts in different fields to policy makers to technocrats to business man to entrepreneurs and above all to common man looking at him as the person who can steer the nation smoothly and capably to its ultimate destiny and destination.
In the last general election, Rahul Gandhi proved his mettle without any doubt. The venture he took in the last election brought Congress to victory. As polling officials began announcing the results of an election in which 428 million people cast their votes, jubilant Congress supporters celebrated their party's sweeping win by dancing in the streets and hailing Rahul Gandhi as their "new leader".
The victory handed Congress and its closest allies more than comfortable number of seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament. With the figure only just short of an overall majority, it was the party's best result since 1991.The triumph of the UPA was confirmed when the opposition Hindu nationalist BJP and the rival Communist-controlled Third Front both conceded their defeat.
Share: Rahul Gandhi, carefully groomed for his party's leadership with the expectation that he will eventually follow in the footsteps of his father Rajiv, his grandmother Indira Gandhi and his great-grandfather Jawarharlal Nehru as prime minister, has time and again said that to serve the nation there is no need to become Prime Minister, adding "PM cannot solve all problems and everybody should take the initiative in serving the nation. There are so many ways we can serve the country."
Amethi MP Rahul Gandhi, who has been leading the Congress campaign, has focussed on young voters by bringing the youth in active politics. He has taken a bold decision to go alone rejecting seat-sharing deals with allies in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, where he wants to use the campaign to rebuild the party's support base.
His venture is likely to pay off with spectacular results as the reports of Congress emerging rapidly and the people's quest for the new and dynamic government are any indication. In Uttar Pradesh, where Congress had been shrunken to negligible entity by caste-based parties, it won in 22 seats after Rahul Gandhi took the charge of UP in last election and succeeded in almost doubling its previous tally. In West Bengal, where the Communists have held power for three decades, Congress and its allies captured respectable number of seats, forcing the Communists slump from 29 to just 13.
Share: The result of last election has almost ended the monopoly and arm-twisting tactic of the regional parties. Now the Congress will not be beholden to small regional and caste-based parties which industrialists and national party leaders had apprehension of.
The Congress Party, credited with enabling India's years of steady growth before the current world economic crisis and seen as more capable of steady governance than its main rival, was led by Congress President Sonia Gandhi though, it was Rahul Gandhi who played the role of knight for his mother and party president and secured its triumph over many odds.
