Is Rahul a man for the future?

Congress party seems to be brewing with confidence. It is making allout, but yet careful efforts to retain power in next elections. Its unchallenged leader Sonia Gandhi is not making any non-sense statements rather than making no non-sense statements. P.Chidambaram brought back smile on the faces of lakhs of people through his loan waiver package. Though this offer showcases a failure in the policy of Government to stabilize the Agri sector. But, considering the nearby elections, this package is one of the master strokes that made even the most critical opposition parties to think twice before making any criticism on the budget.

But, there is another shot in the arm for the congress. It is Rahul Gandhi. He is in the mould of his father Late Rajiv Gandhi. I read the reports of Rahul's visit to tribal lands of Mysore. The statements made by Rahul Gandhi give way to a slender hope for future. Read his opinions below...

"...At 37, I am an old person in India. Majority of India is younger than me... 70 per cent of India's population is young... while old (people) are to be respected for their experience, there is value and strength in youth as well. In a sense, youth is the future... Political parties are lacking in internal democracy.. Youth to raise their voice to highlight the issue... Youth should ask the question: when there is democracy in poll booth, why does it not exist in political parties... fundamental question... Why is it that in a democratic country where everbody has vote, the same spirit is missing in political parties?.... youth should enter politics and make it different and bring refreshing change by 'resisting the same game that every politician plays'..."

Yes.... these words coming out from the mouth of Rahul Gandhi give a glimpse of future prospects. Lets hope that these words are emanated from the heart of Rahul and are backed up by the determination. Lets hope these words are not a cliched political game invented by Congress itself and spread to all present political parties. Lets hope these words are not shortlivened as it was in the case of his father Rajiv Gandhi.

If our hopes come true, then we have a visionary for the future.
