Rahul is trying to be a Gentleman. It is of no use. He must learn to be a fighter.
What Rahul needs to learn from is the silence of the leaders who have been most active in bringing the Congress back into the media limelight, such as P. Chidambaram, Sibal, Manish Tiwari, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Sachin Pilot and Shashi Tharoor.
Rahul’s lack of leadership qualities is the real reason why the Congress lost in Gujarat. Rahul is a gentleman, but that he is not a fighter.
Rahul went into a blind panic, hastened to distance himself and the Congress from Aiyar, and then asked him to apologise to Modi.
But there is one thing Modi has not done.He has never admitted that anything he or his government had done was wrong. He has never backtracked; he has never shifted blame; he has never said ‘sorry’.
Narendra Modi took“maximum advantage” of Neech and Ram Mandir. Had it not been for these two statements, Rahul Gandhi’s spectacular performance in the campaign in Gujarat would have yielded victory.
