Is Rahul Gandhi a fit candidate to become our next PM?

Do you believe that we are in a position to decide these things?  If you feel so, Im so sorry. Irrespective of your mandate, things will take its own shape - that is our democracy. People has no voice. Their right seizes as soon as they vote a candidate. The candidate after getting elected may hop to opposing party deviating the mandate. They need to be sacked. Right to call back is required. When you are not in a position to decide, it is not worthy for us to discuss.

I don't think it's a right india to project Mr Rahul gandhi as india's next PM.Just take out Gandhi out of the name and you will have an idea of his political stature.we are yet to see his leadership skill.i think it's better for him to go and become a cabinet minister or for that matter a chief minister and show the world ,what he is capable of doing .Apart from this ,i think dictatorship prevails in congress as they can't think beyond gandhi clan.Mr gandhi recently campaigned in bihar for cogress but the performance of congress was dismal.He is overhyped.he has talked alot about some trivial issues but why he is toungetied at some very serious issues like corruption,2G scam,Black money, is hard to digest.i think Mr Modi and Mr kumar have everything which a good PM should have.hence i think BJP should try to spread it's wings to southern states,bengal,north east and regain the lost confidence in minorities.it should also try to consolidate it's presence in UP,maha,raj and Delhi

simply...i dont think so...the term Gandhi gave him support to politics...however if he might have been someone from the crowd of layman...then he might have never been....there are many far better than Rahul Gandhi...unseen in some corner of world....

youth is getting motivated by him because he is "cute" ??? then sorry to say Indian electorate and particularly so called Indian "youth" is in utterly deplorable condition !! and yes that corroborates your "anything can happen" if such retard youth is around who is getting smitten by rahul gandhi coz he is "cute" !

and well I have seen enough of his fake charisma as promoted by pimp media !! only mighty slaves of congress see his charisma wherever he goes he is booed, and hooted and called names !! i remember a recent incident where a girl student in gujarat asks him a question and he answers by "I am getting late" !! lol so much so for charisma ! and check this news, these kind of people are attracted by his gimmicks and cliched rants !

I support your views,Krunal.

It is surely NO?? he is still a kid, other than giving fair speeches and touching various classes of society, i do not think i did anything commendable to be a candidate for PM? But in My India, YES, anything is possible, Even our mayawati who has spent around Rs. 1300 Crores of Public money of taxpayers in just installing her statues would be our PM one day?!!, It is unfortunate democracy where, the voter's participation ceases the moment he votes and it is not a wonder if he would be next prime minister as some of our participants have supported him, we need some one like vajpayee, nitish, narendra modi, manmohan singhji, anthony to lead us, it is not just a chance to give him as some body advised, you can not take such a big risk to put our whole country and countrymen into risk by giving him a chance, we can surely give him a chance to promote youth wing of congress or motivate the youth which he is mastering as he is charismatic and cute!!

and what more ! amidst all the fiasco and scams; what he has got to say is "RSS is equivalent to SIMI" a typical move to bring India back to debate of secular communal ! and congress will keep Indian in this debate for it serves their purpose, fill their swiss bank accounts ! and RSS needs no certification from Rahul Gandhi ! Congress is the ONLY fascist party in India. Daresay anything against Gandhis and you will be hacked like anything with FIRs filed, petitons filed and what not !! This is enough proof of fascism rampant in this party though it reeks of slavery ! Other proofs of fascism from history are emergency, sikh genocide by congress, hooliganism exhibited by them when not in power, locking up of Sitaram Kesari for making Sonia the president of AICC, and I can just go on and on in proving the fascism of this party !! 

hard working ?? lol ! I have always observed that least informed fellows out of educated elite support congress and least ignorant of them support this jerk and his gimmicks !

Modi is not good for secular India ? then why was Rajeev gandhi given Bharat Ratna ? for killing 4000 sikhs in broad day light in Delhi streets ? What kind of pathetic arguments are coming from a person of your stature ? Please keep aside the issues of secular-communal ! no party is saint in India but if any party which TARGETS the middle class is BJP ! rest all the parties are pro-poor leftists with pathetic burden schemes like NREGA !

Narendra Modi is the man to lead India. But sad fortune of India, that millions of illiterates, slum dwellers along with some so called "liberal" self hyped intellectual idiots will vote for this jerk !! ANd funnier it gets when a renowned economist like MMS or Chidambram espouse this stupid fellow whose educational credentials are doubtful beyond his 10th class !! Rahul Gandhi is a spineless fellow with no ability to answer to grilling questions even by kids ! wonder what will happen if journalists of India stop getting paid from him for asking easy questions!

over all these years, i have only heard him ranting one thing "BJP is communal; we are secular"  he hasn't touched any other issue !! bloody useless fellow  and I am surprised how so educated and talented people espouse for this jerk in this forum !! really quite shameful !

Lal Krishna Advani should have decided & declared that if BJP wins, then Mr. Narendra Modi would come to The CENTRE. Then BJP would have won the Elections with a big margin, without requring the support of the other parties.

For the creating India need a powerful person who had a great experiance of indian culture, ethics, indian emotions & mainly politics.This is not the only qualification is applicable for him that he is son of Rajiv Gandhi or he is from Gandhi parivar. As I think he is not capable for this post & basically he is not grew-up in INDIA.

This is not an worthless issue we are talking in terms of 1+billion population and the future prime minister.

Very genuine issue it is nice it has come for discussion. Yes Mr Rahul till not ripe to lead the country but may be within next five years he will be in a position to Lead the Country.

Part -1

Mahaatama Gandhiji wanted to dismental Congress after winning Independence & had he known that we indians would go mad after his surname he would have been happy to give up even that.

some of you have written that Rahul is young, dyanmic, energetic, educated so he should become future PM. Well these are the qualities expected from all new recruits(requirement of entry level jobs) in pvt sector companies. So friends come up with something rock solid to support your candidate.

 I wish to share a very interesting open letter from one Mr. Bill Churchill offering his services as Indian Prime Minister.

LETTER FROM BILL CHURCHILL

He wrote, ‘Many years ago, we ruled your country for over two hundred years. As the opposition leader at that time, my great grandfather had delivered a speech in the British Parliament on the India Bill’ tabled in our parliament to grant independence to India. He was not an astrologer or soothsayer but look how true his words were:

‘Power will go to rascals, rogues & freebooters, not a bottle of water or a loaf of bread shall escape taxation, only the air will be free. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues but silly hearts. They will fight among themselves for power & India will be lost in Political squabbles’.

Part -2

He went on to suggest, ‘You can see that exactly the same kind of politicians are ruling India at the moment. Because of this bad situation, some of your political parties are now fully convinced that only foreigners can rule you best & they are projecting foreigners as your future PMs. It is that you are unable to find a single Indian born leader to rule you from a population of more than a billion in your country. The irony of the situation is that the same party that threw the aliens, i.e. we, the Britishers, out of your country, is now projecting foreigners as their leaders & perhaps, prospective PMs.

It is high time to h& over the reigns of your country back to us. I am willing to come to India & become a naturalised citizen of your country if you promise to make me your PM.

At the moment you are projecting some foreigners as your leaders who might not be knowing the geography of your country, its states, its languages, its traditions, its culture & its diversity. When you need foreigners to lead you, why should it not be an Englishman whom you have tested & tried for nearly two hundred years? Among all the British people, I stand much taller because Sir Winston Churchill was the PM of England for quite a long time. As a British PM of that time, he was the Prime Minister of India too because of its being a British colony at that time. I, as the direct descendant of Sir Winston Churchill, belong to the right kind of dynasty that you might be looking for. I also know your country & its diversity fully well, much better than other foreign born leader of yours.’

‘In your country, if dynasty is very important for a leader, I am a heir of Sir Winston Churchill & have the much-needed dynastic qualification to lead your country. Here in England, nobody cares if I am the great grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, who as one of the greatest prime minister of U.K., had defeated Germany in the Second World War.

‘I contested elections several times in England but could not succeed, although I cried myself hoarse that I was the great-grandson of the same Sir Winston Churchill who defeated the Nazis. In your country, the wives, sons, daughters, & grandsons, great-grandsons & great-grand daughters of your past leaders automatically become great, intelligent & worthy. You people happily accept them as your leaders despite the fact that they have no other qualifications.’

Your country is a hero-worshipping country. You thrust greatness on the descendants of your heroes &, sometimes, on great zeros. Just look at your legislatures & parliament. So many wives, sons, daughters & other relatives of your past & present leaders are members of these legislative bodies & some of them are ministers too. Some of them had been prime ministers as well. The only qualification that they had was that they were the descendants of your past leaders. Many such

part-3

heirs are still waiting in the wings to rule your country. If being a descendant is the only qualification for being PM of your country, I too have it in very great measure.’

‘I wish my country could learn a lesson from you. If it could honour its past heroes like your nation does, I would have been the PM of England a long time ago. But alas, my country does not know how to honour the breed of its heroes. I was always defeated in our parliamentary elections. If only my people had some respect & regard for the heirs of their great men, I would have had no need to write this letter to you. I am therefore sending this communication so that your party or nation could consider it favourably & make me the PM of your country. I have the required ‘Blue Blood’ & can rule your country exceedingly well.’

‘I know that before your Independence you hated foreigners & foreign-made goods. You threw us out of your country & won your independence but now the situation seems to be quite different. At that time, you hated our English language, our customs & our products, but now I have learnt that nearly all of the elite classes in your country speak the same English language even at home. You have started wearing western clothes. Our festivals such as Valentine’s Day, Christmas & New Year are celebrated with great pomp & show in your country. In fact, a large segment of your educated class has forgotten your own festivals like Basant & Lohri. You fight each other to get your wards admitted in English-medium schools & many of you spend quite a bit of money to bribe the school authorities to secure admission for your children in such schools.’

‘In 1942, you were burning imported clothes & other foreign made items to free yourselves from the shackles of economic slavery foisted on you by foreigners. But now the situation has completely changed. I am gratified to note this belated wisdom on your part, as now you love imported things like mad. I welcome this late realisation.’

‘Don’t forget that we gave you the railways. We gave you roads. We gave you your legal & judicial system. We gave you the Indian Penal Code in 1860 & the Indian Police Act way back in 1861. You have not been able to amend or change any of these acts, even after 150 years, although they are more or less outdated by now. We united whole of your country from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. We gave you the most wonderful language ‘English’ of which you are so fond of now. We gave you electricity, we gave you telephones & above all else, we gave you democracy & your current governmental systems. The bounties that we showered on you are numerous & cannot be counted. You should be grateful to us & select me as your PM. I have no objection if you can have an Indian-born leader as your PM but if you are keen on a foreign-born individual, well, I have the first claim.’

Part-4

‘I am, therefore, willing to become an Indian citizen provided your country or any good political party makes me a prospective prime ministerial candidate. Let me assure you that I will be a much better Indian than your current leaders, since I know the whole geography of your country by heart. I know where kumbakonam or Khilanmarg is, & where Horhat or Jaisalmer is; I know the difference, distance & location of small towns like Giddarbaha & Giddarpindi in your country. Not only this, I know what the Vedas & Upanishads are. I know all about Mahavira, Buddha, Kabir or Nanak. I have studied The Ramayana, The Guru Granth & The Gita. I have also gone through the Quran & the Bible. I am well versed in your history & in your culture. I am certain your present leaders know nothing about the above seers & the holy books of your country.’

‘May I point out that if foreign-born men are not acceptable to you & your preference is only for foreign-born women, my wife is also ready to come to India & lead it. I would like to inform you that I have fully educated her about your culture, history, diversity, geography & the ethos of your country & now, she is fully capable of ruling you people.’

‘I am sure that by now you are convinced that, if at all you want an imported leader, I am the most deserving candidate to rule your country. The last but most important proclamation I would like to make is that though I was born a Christian, I profess no religion now. I am a perfect secularist & like most of your leaders ‘POWER & PELF’ is my only religion. Please discuss my secular credentials in your party. I will wait for your reply by fax or e-mail.’ Please note I am even willing to take on any impressive Indian surname such as Nehru, Bose or Patel, if you are keen on that.’

Mr. Rahul himself says that he is not ready, even to take a ministerial post. Then why all these fuss. I wonder, how people can think that Indian Prime Minister job is a joke.  

No Rahul Gandhi is not a fit candidate for PM of our country. Merely going to villages and having lunch with the villagers and mingling with them is not going to prove your case. Every fortnight you will come across about his journey to some village or having lunch with the villagers. His personality is not fit to be PM of the country. His father also did the same trick and his grandmother (Mrs. Indira Gandhi) also did the same trick. So he thinks this is a time tested formula to be popular and moreover you have "Gandhi" added to your name which he thinks is the only way to be a PM of this poor uneducated nation. I say poor uneducated because population here is mostly poor and uneducated. My friend I think now these things don't work and should not work. You should show your mettle to be PM. On price rise he has not any worth noting reply. Rest all depends on the congress party and the nation.

I think still a long way for him to be a PM, a lots to be learnt

please think hat ke from gandhi family. in my view congress party should be dissolved. even after so many years they r getting vote on account "humne azadi dilai" and in the name of nehru, gandhi.

In my opinion, not immediately. Among the oldies who are strong enough to thwart his moves, he will be a puppet PM. Not a real PM. He needs some more time to grasp the real nuts of the country. By virtue of his zeal & background, he can be groomed still more.But ,we need a younger PM with totally young ministers backed by oldies out-of-power.

I do not want Rahul Gandhi to be the next P.M.

The reason is that he is doing wonderful work in grooming the next level of Congress workers. By continuing to do this kind of work , we can rest assured that 5 years from now , there may be another 50 Rahul Gandhis !

We need more enthusiasm for politics from the youth of today , so that 20 years from now , India can have a government of ministers whose average age is between 30 and 35.

Rahul Gandhi has already taken the right direction - that India's future lies in its youth. I would like him to continue this work for another 5 to 10 years.

I think one has to mature before being the head of the government. This applies to every thing right from Mango to tree to persons.

It will probably take another five years before Rahul can be offered the top job. As far as Mr Modi is concerned he will never be a fit candidate to become Prime Minster of secular India.

we have a proven candidate in the form of Mr.Narendra Modi who has shown the world the way by winning more than 67 awards for the state. See how he has brought peace & development to the state of Gujarat. His focus has been on development and that is what we all want to see for the country. what has Rahul Gandhi to showcase except that he belongs to the Gandhi family & can keep the different factions amongst the congress together for the sake of power.

Rahul Gandhi is not fit to become our next prime minister, cos he should be given chance to become prime minister now where country is facing price rise in eadible commodity proove it now mr rahul gandhi that your party is thinking about the aam aadmi and not rich aadmi, congress has been worst party, we say it today because BJP has shown how to make country prosperous, and how to make development, show me congressmen who will say vote me on the basis of development.

i urge today to mr rahul gandhi through the internett medium to alarm the bad upcommings and remoove the foolish prime minister of this country and be it now. i want to see you as prime minister, if any sort of help rquired iam there to guide you,cos it will be learning experience working with one educated briliant and young men who will think in terms of managemnet ability and things will be accepted on the basis of technicalities. manmohan singh is not the right person for pm it is only rahul gandhi at this perticular moment otherwise ship of congress is about to submerged in the water take it from me.

other day when i was watching national channel on the tv, manmohan singh was unable to answer the questions put by the press and media. that means this prime minister is not fit for his job. when he is head of this state he should know what is going on and if something is wrong he should make it correct by changing the minister or removing that perticular ministry from the minister.

Rahul Gandhi is not a suitable candidate for PM because he has no exp and no good knowledge of handle the country. He is only come in to light because they are belongs to Nehru-Gandhi family and politics had got from their ancestors

no,

not at least for 10 years

Time is not ripe for him to take the mantle of Prime Ministership now.  His focus should be to clinch major victory in UP and other non-Congress States.  In the coalition scenario, the allies would make the mess of things, if he is not very careful.  He should also gain some experience as the Cabinet Minister, and also should speak up in Parliament on various issues.  No doubt, he is a preferred charismatic leader in the making - may be after 2014, he would emerge as a very strong natioanlist leader with thumping majority, provided he maintains his rhythm as he is currently in.

Question should be --

Should congress be a party in power?

Forget about Rahul Gandhi whose only achievement is "he is Gandhi", even congress is not fit to be party in power.

I am surprise:

1. Prise rise

2. Failed home minister.

3. Fake Share market game

4. Failed against Maos

and lot more

Still in power.

May be because of chain of currupt people do not want their patrons to go out of power.

Ho Can Rahul gandhi be even considered for PM when he hardly knows anything beyond Amethi ? Most important he does not have even basic communications skills , forget  extempore. Media only promoting him 'coz he is from gandhi lineage , that's all

Oratory is not a must.But is not seen trying to improve.In last parliament he took only just 2 min participating in the no confidence motion that too in the last day.His living with poor homes in villages and eating chapathy is a mockery.He has to improve a lot,that he knows.

he is shy,despite umpteen opprtunities he failed to his mettal.
