AB KI BAAR...........
If Manmohan Singh is ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ then
Rahul Gandhi seems to be the ‘PM by accident’ – accident of birth and accident
of the Gandhi surname happening to him. Apart from that he seems to have little
credibility to sit in the driver’s seat of the largest democracy in the world. I
feel Congress needs to step out of the shadow of the family which Nehru
started. A fresh approach and a fresh non-Gandhi face will give it a complete
overhaul. I don’t think the Gandhi clan has been blessed with the rare PM-gene.
On the other hand it was a pleasure listening to Modi field
questions posed by the impish Rajat Sharma. His rise from the sidelines of the
party to the centre stage cannot be without merit. His credibility rests in the
fact that almost everybody questions him and his credentials. After all nobody
kicks a dead dog. Modi has the mettle even though he might not be the perfect
candidate. He is the most eligible one visible on the horizon of the next five
year plan.
His charisma and conviction has the potential to salvage our
sinking ship. We need a leader with a strong spine who can stand tall and take
decisions and connect with the people he is leading. Someone who can hold his
own on international platforms. As of now Modi seems to fit the bill. How will
he fare in the PMO I don’t know but I am ready to vote for and take that risk
rather than allow that fumbling scion stumble through another term while his
mother once again gets in the wings to act as the prompter! So ab ki baar.... change
ki sarkar! Ek chance to banta hai yaar!
