Rahul Gandhi as PM‏

Email sent on 22-Jun-2011
Dear PM,

I saw a different kind of debate in Headlines Today sparked from Digvijay Singh's comment 'Rahul should become the Prime Minister'. Participants were Sanjay Jha, Jayanthi Natarajan and Swapan Dasgupta. Anchor was Rahul Kanwal. I would like to make few comments.

1. Congress leadership must understand that dynastic politics is self defeating in any democracy. Promoting family politics is like betraying the nation. They should realize that sycophants do not command any respect. Congress spokespersons behave like lynch mob to those criticizing Rahul and Sonia.
2. Congress spokespersons and leadership must have self belief that they are better prime ministerial candidates than Rahul. Rahul Gandhi is no match to the wisdom of Salman Khurshid  or Abhishek Singhvi or Kapil Sibal or Sashi Tharoor or Pranab Mukherjee or PC Chidambaram and many others. So, why on earth people of India should choose a mediocre leader like Rahul? I would love to see Salman Khurshid as our next PM if you decide not to contest next election and Congress wins.
3. Rahul Gandhi is a below average politician who cannot speak, cannot think and does not have any professional achievement whatsoever. Many congressmen are trying to project him as visionary which would be an insult to Pandit Nehru and Dr. B. C. Roy.
4. Leader of Dalits must come from Dalits like Ambadkar. Even Ambadkar didn't accept Mahatma Gandhi as leader of Dalits. Anyone who never experienced starvation and humiliation in his life cannot feel what it is to be a Dalit.  To fight for the dalits one has to be one of them like Binayak Sen spending his whole life among tribal people silently without any camera.
5. Lalu Yadav made a mockery of our democracy when he made his wife Rabri Devi as chief minister of Bihar. Congress did similar thing when they elected Rajiv Gandhi PM dumping two most competent leaders - Narashima Rao and Pranab Mukherjee. People of India rejected Rajiv after 5 years. We are thankful to Dr. Kalam that he didn't allow congress to make the same mistake for the second time. Now they are all set to do it for the third time. You will be removed unceremoniously like Sitaram Kesri to pave the way for Rahul sooner than later.
6. Congress and BJP lost the confidence of people because of lack of trust worthy leadership. This resulted proliferation of regional parties leading to fractured verdict in Loksabha elections since 1989. In majority of the states national parties are piggy backing on regional parties. This is dangerous to our democracy. It is time for Congress and BJP to find a real good leader who can make a difference (not Rahul Gandhi or Sushma Swaraj).

Sir, you are a good man but you are not authoritative. You cannot crack the whip which unfortunately lies with Sonia Gandhi. You do not have any friend to give you a good advice in crisis.
