Mohan:
Excellent article:
This excerpt is interesting.
I mean, projecting Priyanka Vadra as a future prime minister? Why on
God's earth? Personally, all I saw was a slender, light-skinned, nubile
young woman of no particular accomplishment or leadership qualities
whatsoever. Perhaps light skin and nubileness is enough for the -- I
imagine -- panting male hacks.
If the Congress must have a Nehru dynasty person to lead it, why not
Maneka Gandhi? At least she has some accomplishments of her own --
championing the environment, animal rights, etc. She too has everything
Sonia Gandhi has: Nehru family widow, daughter-in-law of Indira. And
she has been in Parliament and a minister, that too as an Independent.
I do hope this is the end of the heavily over-rated Nehru dynasty. The
Great White Hope, Sonia Gandhi, has certainly been a major
disappointment: she, personally, has been trounced, as this election was a
personal referendum on her vote-gathering capability. I think the Nehru
dynasty should now leave it to others to 'sacrifice' for the country. |
