RE: [www.keralites.net] More and more Indians want Rahul as PM: Survey

 

Dear all

I have been watching closely the functioning of different political parties in the country and was also involved in strengthening of democracy in many newly emerged countries during the last two decades. I can say proudly that our democracy is one of the strongest  in the world; how many of the countries of the world. which became independent along with us can boast of such a long uninterrupted democracy. Even after the emergency, which many condemn as the black days of Indian democracy, Indira Gandhi, stepped down when she lost in the elections,  respecting the will of the people. 

Many have been condemning Congress Party. Yes, the party has many short comings; but which are the other parties   better than Congress . Is it BJP, whose Chief Minister was fiddling when Minorities were being  massacred in Gujarat and whose President was caught red handed accepting bribe. . Or is it BSP, the other major party of the north with Mayavati as the supreme leader till death.  I do not think any sensible person outside UP will vote for her party. Then we have Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lallu/Rabri Devi, which one you prefer?  I do not think  think about the  Tamil Parties as they are all myopic and do not see beyond Tamil Nadu. The left parties too do not have a better grading than congress with their leaders  getting involved in corruption. To conclude with all the minus points UPA chaired by Congress Party has been elected again as the ruling party of congress by the PEOPLE OF INDIA.    I have highlighted the word to stress the point that in a democracy, people are the  and they select the persons whom they want to rule them. 

People of India cannot forget Nehru family. This became evident when Indira Gandhi stood against all the stalwarts of Congress Party in 1969. People discarded leaders like Morarji Desai and rallied behind her. When Indira Gandhi was at the height of her popularity, Karanjia, the editor of  Blitz remarked that Indira Gandhi was taller than her father in political stature and popularity as she was standing on the shoulders of her father. Similarly I feel that Rahul Gandhi is taller than many in the Congress party as he is standing on the shoulders of her grandmother, great grandmother and father. When he entered politics I discarded him as a brat from the family, but on learning his style of functioning now I respect him as a leader with a vision.  I feel that people speak against him as they do not know about his functioning. How many, who speak against him, are aware that he has engaged "Foundation for Advanced Management of Elections" an NGO, under the leadership of former Chief Election Commissioners Mr. Lyngdo, Mr. Krishnamurthi and Mr. Gopalawamy  to supervise and monitor the Youth Congress and  NSUI elections and that FAME" has barred many leaders with criminal cases pending against from contesting elections in these two organisations.  This list includes  the son of a prominent leader and former chief minister of a state, who would have got a walkover as a national leader of the organisation.

I have seen some one making a statement that during 60 years Congress party has ruined the country. I do not know on what basis such a  statement is made.The person, who made the statement should check  the current ranking of India as an economic power, in spite of majority of the people being corrupt. I intentionally made the statement that majority of the Indians are corrupt. How many of us can say honestly that he has  not cheated the Government either in income tax/customs duty or any other dues to Government. So corruption is in our blood,  try to improve ourselves before accusing others. 

In spite of all the corruption in the country, India is still the cheapest country in the world, as far as basic necessities are concerned; we still get Potato for less than Rs.10/kg ( I took the case of Potato as it is an item universally consumed). We can practice any religion  and vote for the candidate of our choice. 

Regards

T.Mathew

  Why do we need the Gandhi family.  Congressmen are fools.  Is there no one more talented and
  abler than Sonia and Rahul in the Congress Party. Why cant honest Congressmen stand up against
  the onslaught of the Gandhi family,  Nehru could not deal with the Chinese Aggression.  Indira could
  not settle the Kashmir issue once and for all after the 1971 War. but was happy to weaken  the Democratic polity which some of our Opposition parties wanted.  What is the contribution   of Sonia and Rahul and Manmohan so far.  Nothing.  Good Economists dont necessarily  make good Prime   Ministers. Congress has ruled the Country for 63 long years and ruined the Country.  They must step down  and they should not take the credit for Independence.  It was Indian National Congress which won us  freedom and that time all Nationalists and various Political thinkers were part of the movement.  Gandhi  rightly wanted the Congress to be disbanded after Independence.  It should not be forgotten that Indian  National Congress was a movement against the British and the Congress Party which ruled for 63 long  years with some gaps in between is a different proposition altogether.  Some Congressmen take the credit for getting independence which is not rightfully theirs.  So many Indians
toiled and gave up their everything so that the Country attain independence.

I do not know why no one is asking for the UPA Govt. to resign despite innumerable scams.  Our Media both
Electronic and the Press are not good.  They are one sided.   Krishna Menon the first Defence Minister rightly called them the "Jute Press'  as most of the newspapers were then run by Jute Barons.  This included the
Ramnath Goenkas, Birlas etc. Even now they are run by big business and they want to be on the right side.
Our Media has a habit to portray only one side of the Story.  Some of our acclaimed historians like
Ramchandra Guha etc also give one side of the story only.  Our Press is fettering themselves. God save our
country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously feel that the survey was conducted inside the congress party offices. Orelse  which moron of our country would suggest his name for the post of Prime Minister. He time and again has proved to be unworthy of holding any post of public interest. Having said that i dont have anything against this guy who has got a below average IQ and efficiency. Just because he belongs to the nehru family some failed congress leaders like Digvijay sing etc, sing the chorus of Rahuls PMship. Vested interest had always played its role in our politics. Rahul himself is sure that he is unworty of the post of PM and wise enough to keep away from it.

More and more Indians want Rahul as PM: Survey

IANS India Private LimitedBy Indo Asian News Service | IANS –  Sun, Jun 19, 2011
Rahul the next
New Delhi, June 19 (IANS) As many as 46 percent of people believe that Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi will make a better prime minister than incumbent Manmohan Singh, according to a national survey.
According to a 'Mood of the Nation' poll conducted by the news website LensOnNews.com, nearly two-thirds (61 percent) of voters want a change of government in New Delhi.
Only half that number (34 percent) still back the Manmohan Singh-led government to continue in office, it said.
'Rahul Gandhi is clearly preferred over Manmohan Singh for the position of prime minister,' it said.
'As many as 46 percent believe that Rahul Gandhi would make a better prime minister while only 34 percent think Manmohan Singh should continue.'
The LensPoll was carried out among a representative sample of about 3,800 voters across India, in 40 Lok Sabha constituencies in 14 states.
The poll was conducted between June 12 and 16. The findings carry a margin of error of four percent.
The survey, however, said that between Rahul Gandhi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Narendra Modi, 53 percent opted for the chief minister of Gujarat.
The survey said that disenchantment against the Congress-led central government was significantly higher in urban areas, among the college educated and upper castes.
'It is ironical that these are the very same sections that rooted heavily for the Congress in 2009. Under the present regime, the Congress seems to have lost the goodwill of the informed public.'
The choice of Rahul Gandhi as prime minister received a much higher rating among Muslims, women, farmers and labourers -- precisely the sections the Congress banks on heavily for votes.
Gandhi, who turned 41 Sunday, was elected to the Lok Sabha from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh in 2009. A section of Congress leaders too has stepped up calls that he should become prime minister.
