Rahul Gandhi: I am here to protect India from RSS, Modi

[MilSpec]

Actually no. NDTV was the first channel to put it's neck out and say that not only will modi win but will win an abslute majority without the need for partners. Obviously no channel that does not present BJP's f*rts as sweet perfume will be spared calumny. That's why an objective channel like NDTV is called presstitute and a kacha baniyan ad type channel called India TV is called 'partiotic'

What other option did they have, btw If I recall correctly Times Now called it even before NDTV did... and reporting a fact that is inevitable doesn't change editorial integrity.
I remember Barkha Dutt, grinning shamelessly when Mani Shankar Aiyer refered to Modi as a person only capable of selling Tea and never will be able to become a PM... did a single channel which was shamelessly grinning at the elitism, hold Mani Shankar's feet to fire after the elections? Not a single one....

I apologize for the rant guys. But seeing an imbecile like Rahul Gandhi as the de-facto leader of opposition really hurts me. This is not at all representative of the India and intellect of the youth "that he supposedly represents", a Strong government needs a confident opposition, and watching this idiot just effin boils my blood.

Insulting Rahul to the extent which you are doing is simply childish. Never forget that Modi was also the butt of jokes and taunts when he announced his intent to stand for office of the PM. Congress may have lost the numbers but they are not an insignificant party in India. Please grow up

Modi was insulted out of spite, and mostly by congress leadership. Which left no stone unturned to convict him in one thing or the other but modi was a serious contender so the insults that were thrown his way were to stymie his ascension.
Rahul on the other hand is another matter. He is dumb and genuinely funny .
This guy can't win a Xth standard debate and congressies like magudi and guy2 are willing to hand him over this very country out of hatred for modi. Stupidity really has no limits

I don't know if you remember this, but about 2months before Modi was fielded as the official candidate for BJP, media houses had sensed it.
Growing up I have had the habit of picking up the newspaper in the morning, now it has been replaced with a laptop or a tablet, If I can recall correctly NDTV ran a hit piece on Modi and BJP every day... I couldn't remember a day when it did not carry a hit piece...It all changed the day we knew the Exit Polls showed overwhelming win for Modi....NDTV and Indian Express group are the biggest offenders in this, closely followed by Times. Star-ABP- from Anondo bazar Potrika, i haven;t followed closely, but being a bengali myself i can guess where the editorial intellectualism will lie. Zee news imo were the opportunist, and these days are singing BJP tunes... AAJ tak I cannot stand watching....CNN-IBN7 was actually funny....

You are a bengali ... .... I always thought of you as a Kannadiga .

Bengali and Mallus are from the same flock .... we had to read up high dose of marxism in our everyday newspaper and media .... only difference is we mallus have is that we are injected equal dosage of congressism as well

Yeah i remember that. Anyone who watched NDTV those days will remember the hit and run stories they did on Modi and the BJP. The problem with channels like NDTV and few others is when these talk show hosts instead of acting as hosts become participants in the discussions. I remember a lady from this channel interviewing someone from the UK. The way she was talking about the case going on Modi and then becoming argumentative was cringeworthy, even left that guest stumped.

I am not so sure about @Guynextdoor2 . I have seen him being critical of Modi but I haven't seen him promoting Rahul Gandhi. No one is dumb enough to do that, not even his own mom.

I have taken the line that when it comes to real politics Rahul Gandhi will not be made PM considering his current image and they'll work out a Sonia Gandhi type position for him with PM position going to (most probably) Chidambaram .

May I ask why... Usually we fire incompetent employees. Not make em Board Members

 

[[Bregs]]

The congress party i feel should give 5 yrs to give this govt to work and the cong must not repeat mistakes BJP made when it did not allow parliament to function for many sessions. Time for congress to introspect its priorities sensibly

because
- Gandhi family being head of congress is a deliberate strategy adopted by the congress in 1997/1998/. It has been generally for the good of the party- it has prevented the leadership crisis that was seen very clearly when Narasimha Rao was in power, led to it's revival and seen it in power twice

- Congress is shrewd politically- SOnia Gandhi was used to rally the party but keeping in mind the controversial image she had made MMS the PM over 2 successive terms. Far from being stupid they're shrewd and intelligence to the core

- RG was never supposed to be the PM candidate. He was headed to be the heir of SG's chair. There is only one reason why he was made prominent (I don't think they've declared him PM candidate yet). Modi ran a presidential style campaign with him as the lead and 'face', so the congress had to react.

The reason Congress is scared is because of Modi and Amit shah. The main thing BJP did was the Senior BJP leaders even though having decades of experience gave their way for more experienced and meritorious person to lead them. This pretty much showed BJP's ability to keep their ego aside. Congress have not been able to do that. More than that the success of this only deligitmaizes Dynasty based political parties. As the country and economy grows Dynasty will becomes less relevant which will effectively force more ambitious leaders from within the party to go their own way. This is what the party is afraid off and this is why the family is using everything in their power to stop economic growth.

Consider the current political landscape and who else is capable to lead this country? Mulayam singh and his son?
Mayawati? Mamata Banerjee? Leftists?
People like Devegowda and Gujral left this country in doldrums because of their sheer incompetence. If BJP were to lose today and Rahul Gandhi doesn't become Prime minister then either of these opportunists will helm the throne. Damn.
In other scenario, if Rahul doesn't become the Prime minister and they install another guy like Manmohan singh, then also the entire country will remain subservient to Sonia and rahul gandhi. One is dumb and another is italian. PM won't be free to take decisions, sycophancy and nepotism will rule the roost. Manmohan, Pranab are not there anymore. The same story of last 10 years will be repeated again, only worse. Its a party of kapil sibal and gand now. Sorry i meant gang.

So when folks here go nuts criticising modi just out of sheer hatred and for no rhyme of reason, its a valid question to ask "Who they support then?"

By the way, congress is not the party it used to be. This point is worth keeping in mind while spouting banal idiotic theories.

I can't understand how any sane Indian irrespective of his/her religion could in his/her remotest dreams, even think of rooting for Rahul Gandhi. I just can't.
