Lies and rumor-mongering. That is the newest strategy of the Congress party, particularly Rahul Gandhi. The party has recently faired much better than most expected in the recent election. Buoyed by the success, the voters will likely believe that the Party and Rahul Gandhi will raise real issues like taxation or inflation. Instead, we are witnessing Rahul Gandhi lying through his teeth in the Parliament on issues such as the Agniveer program. And instead of cornering the government on taxation, doing imbecile acts like walking across to shake hands with the PM and hug him. After this juvenile show, Rahul Gandhi lied some more, like calling out the situation of Locomotive Pilots of trains when all parameters showed that the problem of these train drivers had improved in the last ten years. No mainstream press or journalist is asking Rahul counter-questions. Perhaps Rahul needs to let them ask questions. He and the party have assumed the role of a guerilla terrorist - attacking and then scuttling to the dark and putrid corners.
The strategy of 'lying first, second, and third' is familiar. It is one of the oldest tricks in any political book. Donald Trump has been using it to great success. Perhaps, Rahul realized that, and now he is trying to assume the Trumpian avatar. Trying to become Trump of India. He has learned from his past mistakes and lies only in the Parliament. Rahul was disqualified from his parliamentary seat and humbled by the justice system for publicly lying. Instead of learning from this and being more responsible with his words and actions, he changed the venue of spreading false information. What is said in Parliament is fully protected; no one can file a libel case based on parliamentary speech. That is the reason Kejariwal goes on a rampage in the Delhi assembly: he knows he is untouchable there. Rahul followed Kejariwal in this aspect. Of course, Rahul has ways to go before he can compete with Kejariwal. No one lies like Kejariwal. No one!
Do Indian people deserve Rahul Gandhi? Certainly not. An overwhelming majority of Indians work very hard to earn their living. They face the consequences if they don't perform in their jobs. They behave responsibly and maturely, unlike Rahul Gandhi who has never faced consequence for his actions. It is unlikely he will face any backlash in the future. Mockery, yes! But he is never going to lose his stronghold over the grand old party. He will always have servents waiting to serve him, no matter the job. Quite a position he has, in stark contrast to the hardworking Indian people, who deserve better than a leader who evades responsibility.
He also doesn't have to pay taxes. By the way, has he ever had a real job to earn his living?
Having no opposition is not good for democracy. Having Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party as an opposition is far worse. They will not think twice before putting the country in danger, driven by their lust for power. Take the example of Jairam Ramesh. This man has not won a single vote in his name, yet he caused havoc in the economy through his environmental terrorism activism. And the moment this person sees some sunshine, he has gone after the Nicobar island project - a strategically important initiative needed for India's maritime security in the Indian ocean. Perhaps, Ramesh has received his Yens recently! Their actions are not just a threat to the government but to the entire nation, a fact that should deeply concern every Indian.
It will be interesting to see how Modi Ji and his government manage the next few years. Despite the Modi government's tax on terrorism, this government is still the best bet for India's future. I hope Rahul Gandhi and his servant party lose steam barking and, most importantly, come to the next election; better sense prevails for Indian voters. Under the leadership of Modi Ji, there is hope for a brighter future for India.
