Aggression is the most in speeches
Emphasis has to be on understanding and patience
Accept the challenge as a challenge

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi gave his Inside Real Politician speech in Parliament on Monday. He made a big drama but in a simple way mentioned the failure of unemployment and the failure of schemes like ‘Make in India’. He proposed to connect them properly instead of criticizing them in a way ‘Make it like China’. The speech is expected from the nominated leaders, it was ideological. But it was a sermon. The image of Rahul that is usually seen inside and outside the Parliament is that of an aggressive leader.

Recently, on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Congress headquarters ‘Indira Bhawan’, Rahul Gandhi gave a big message to the party leaders, ‘Do not think that we are lagging behind the BJP, RSS and the Indian state (system).’ Well, this statement of Rahul gave a good opportunity to the BJP. He immediately started singing the tune of Arab Emirates and George Soros- network. He included Congress in the plans to ‘break the country’ and ‘shine the society’.

The time of 2025 is somewhat like 1975. Due to the over-centralization of truth, the Constitution is putting them in danger. The common people, especially the youth, are worried about unemployment and stagnant population. At the same time, backward castes and Dalit communities have started getting free from the strong grip of the ruling party. What is the substance in these things?

Lack of unity: If seen from the perspective of history, some good things are definitely visible. But then the question is why this shingari did not show its color in the electoral revolution of Haryana and Maharashtra last year. In other words, why has Rahul Gandhi not proved as influential as Narayan Narayan (JP)? The first and obvious reason is that in 1974-75, when Japan’s ‘Total Revolution’ was going on, the entire cast was united behind him. Today the picture is completely opposite.

No allies: Catholic Church Alliance I.N.D.I.A. In this too, TMC, SP and opposition (UBT) have left Congress and stood with Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi elections. Another example of this was seen when Rahul Gandhi held a ‘Jai Babulal, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhaan’ rally this month, there was no major ally standing with Congress on the stage.

Contradictions in Congress: It was said that he had become the voice of the entire party, whereas Rahul Gandhi is not able to become the authentic voice of his own party. He promises caste equality in Delhi, but his own government is dilly-dallying in making a caste survey report. It has been more than a year, but CM Siddaramaiah is not advising to release this report, fearing the appeal of the bigwigs of his state. Similarly, Rahul Gandhi kept spewing fire against the Adani Group and his Telangana government struck a deal of 12,400 crores with that group.

Glimpse of the future: The good thing is that Rahul Gandhi does not need to emerge. The archaeological expert from Japan was made of devotion to his ideals. Rahul Gandhi’s supporters showed their energy and youthful enthusiasm especially during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. He gives a glimpse of a different future. But it has not been able to make it clear completely. It is that whenever an aggressive problem of a stable system arises against Rahul Gandhi, his vision becomes clear.

Unemployment issue: In a national survey last year, 71% of the people believed that unemployment is a serious problem. This is a constant crisis for the youth in India. That is why thousands of applications come on a recruitment. But business enterprises have not been able to unite this supportive youth group so far, because it is not united like farmers.

Still a chance: Rahul Gandhi still has a chance. He can channel the energy of the angry youth in the right direction. If he shows unemployment, exam papers, the condition of schools and colleges and the fragile development of lower-medium students in a static and standard way, then his impact will be bad.

Need for persistence: Rahul Gandhi has improved his speech style, seriousness and political understanding in the last decade. Now he is not the new and experienced leader of the UPA era. But still do not see his entire political vision. Unusual museum options either fall a little short or look behind the main idol.
