Frustration with Rahul Gandhi’s prolonged inaction peaks, but he still remains the favourite to lead the party
In the last week of July, former information and broadcasting minister Manish Tewari hosted a lunch for Frederick Kempe, chairperson of an American think-tank, in Delhi to introduce him to a select group of parliamentarians, public intellectuals and journalists. Among the invitees was Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi. Arriving at 1 pm, he stayed for nearly three hours, seemingly enjoying his conversation, till some journalists posed some uncomfortable questions.
In typical style, Rahul rolled up his sleeves and stopped just short of asking the journalists to shut up. Asking them not to worry about the future of Congress as the party had always bounced back from every crisis, he compared it to Sachin Tendulkar—an analogy the master blaster is unlikely to take sportingly given the Congress’s free fall in election after election—Rahul said that nobody should teach Sachin how to bat. Not quite done yet, he then accused the journalists of capitulating to the Narendra Modi government.
