There are defintiely a lot of low caliber politicans in office but Krishna shined as External Affairs Minister.....worked hard with the US for India;s interests all times....Rahul was appointed to many of those positions you mentioned. As for being elected, how do you get elected in Karntaka when you liv e in another state? Rahul is a joke just like Uma, Laloo and all those other scumbags.....see my point?

Nope. Rahul has never been appointed to any of the offices I mentioned (which were minister of state for industries, then finance, chief minister of a state, then governor of another). Indian democracy is a lot better than you think.
Now you may personally hate Rahul Gandhi for whatever reasons of your own, but don't let that cloud your judgement about the democratic character of the Indian state.
You pessimistic views seem to be a result of being misinformed, since Rahul Gandhi has never been appointed in any important government position, and has only gotten undue favors in the congress party itself - not in the government of india. You wont see the son of a senior party leader being appointed to positions like external affairs minister, only people like SM Krishna get such posts, after a long career in the government in various capacities. Those are just popular misconceptions with no basis in ground reality.
The news is that Anand Sharma will be the new external affairs minister. We will have to see how he performs.
And by the way, Krishna did bad as FM IMO. Especially vis-a-vis Kashmir, India is getting b!tchslapped around by Pakistan. India stopped being aggressive with Pakistan even though Pak is at its weakest position internationally since the end of Kargil.
