The AICC General Secretary tours the country to enlarge his constituency
Congress strategists like Ahmed Patel and others say the Gandhi clan does not need cooked up surveys or an orchestrated media exposure to help their case. Rahul Gandhi has been around on the Indian political firmament for less than a decade.
His ‘Discovery of India’ and the accompanying media coverage, his party hopes, will help the Congress-led UPA government to return to power in the next General Elections.
For instance, the situation in Bundelkhand region was highlighted and brought into immediate political focus only after Rahul’s visits. Mayawati’s aggressive reaction on Rahul Gandhi’s visits to Dalit families clearly indicates her apprehensions that the young Gandhi is capable of denting her Dalit vote base. Congress leaders admit that UP Chief Minister Mayawati poses a real threat to the Congress vote bank.
Initially, this 38 year old, single, media shy, scion of the Nehru- Gandhi family, was as reluctant to join politics as his father Rajiv Gandhi. His decision to join politics in 2004 and win the Amethi constituency the same year has given a new lease of life to Congress workers, who always galvanize themselves in the name of the Gandhis and Nehrus.
By sleeping in a Dalit’s hut for a night recently. Rahul is enjoying, by his own admission, a re-discovery of India. But whether all this helps the Congress would be on evidence shortly.
