Whenever it comes to unraveling our Youth Talent in Politics, the first name that comes to every mind is from the Biggest Political Family of India & The most Hyped Politician of Decade “Rahul Gandhi”. People have almost come to the conclusion that Rahul is set to be the Next Prime Minister while I guess scribbling his name in Guinness Books for being a family with all PMs. The Biggest success in his Political Journey so far is the Youth Talent Hunt for the Legislators and State Assemblies for Congress. Not to mention here that there are many more young and tech – savvy politicians who have found in-roads through Blogs (in the lights of Mr. Advani) some with huge controversies (Mr. Tweeteroor). Some of them have been rather more Pro-working than writing – like P.Chidambaram, Mr J.Ramesh and Mr Sibal, whom I find are few competent Ministers in the Working Government presently.
The Biggest Irony of Rahul is being the unprecedented task to bring Inner Party Democracy to Congress while he himself is chairing the Youth Congress, NSUI and is the Party’s General Secretary. At least I must appreciate him for being Truthful of accepting the much known unsaid fact what some politicians have cried since Independence. I still remember his Maiden speech when he mentioned an unheard name “Kalavati” in Parliament, to which almost the complete house burst to laughter including him. He explained her tireless Journey of the atrocities in her life. It is needless to remind him that “Garibi Hatao” was Indira’s slogan which has been now completely proving to be “GARIB HATAO” with Unprecedented Price Rise which I term as “LEGALISED KILLINGS or GOVT. INITIATED POPULATION PLANNING”. It is again Ironical that the same lady came to his office and stood there unheard for many hours till the Media spotted her as the “Deity to Poor” and then she stood against Congress in Mumbai Election and then Backtracked quite possibly after pressure from Political Corridors.
I have already mentioned about his disastrous train journey to intimidate Shiv Sena in my blog before.

Not only did he waste the Common Man’s Money in his 6 hours high profile media and Politically Star dusted campaign but also gave an issue undeserving importance. I guess one good part of his campaign is his regular Visits to the lengths and breadths of the Country. It will not only help him to understand the complex structure of Bureaucracy at different states but also to encounter lofty ideas through his meeting with School and College kids. I must here like to point out that what he is doing is no different to what others have done. I think the mere difference being that he has Choppers at his disposable while others had to go for the Bumpy rides all along. Almost all the National Leaders have done such visits across India while the local leaders have visited their Talukas, Zillas, and Districts etc. Even I heard that one of the BJP MLA in Rajasthan used to accompany the Dead to the Cremation ground in his area and has undefeated track record.

Needless to say that the Youth- Importance that he is shouting has already been said and implemented on various occasions by the People like Dr. Kalam even before he was born. What adds humour to the story is that he was spotted asking young school kids to Join Politics who recently came to Parliament to see the sight of the law makers breaking almost all the laws laid down on the floor themselves. He should first set some moral code of conduct for his Party men in Parliament to set an example.
He has been not been very far away from controversies which have given ample of scope to the opposition to quote him as “Another Immature Politician”. I guess his quote where he mentioned NSG belong to UP and Bihar – Divides India, if a Gandhi Was ruling the Center in 1990’s the Babri Masjid would have never been demolished – I guess he should make it very clear in his mind the finest PM that Congress Produced was undoubtedly Mr. Rao and India became Immerging Power in the world after his Government only. As many other Congressmen have forgotten all the good points of that government I do aspect some like him to be fair enough. His latest comment on linking the rivers as being wastage of money and time shows that either he comes underprepared or he has made it the point to always swim against the flow to be in media glare. I hope that he should come out with better and another innovative version to substitute this Project because India is seriously in Need of linking waters to avoid anymore Draughts.
If Rahul Gandhi is making his road for the Next PM than I guess he needs to put lots of stuffs in the place including his Knowledge about the Issues where he was sometimes found ducking to the questions in get together at School/College Campuses. He is attributed to be a youth icon of the country and will probably be the youngest PM of the country. It is always good for a Nation to have young leaders taking the charge as it has been observed that they do not shy away with implementing any new lofty ideas. They have instinct to modify them and fit to the situation as when its required, they are found to be more flexible and open-minded in the way they function which will prove to be beneficial for the Developing Country like India.
At the end of the Post I would like the Youth of India to be more practical and futuristic in their approach. It is not the age but the talent with a sense of getting the work done that matters. I still find it hard to spot any Politician with a Moto - “The Country first, The People next and The Party last”. Indian is still craving to break all the social taboos and bondages that has confined it to be a soft & slow state for 50 years. We need few good, strong, determined and hard line leaders with the basic foundation and focus set on making India to be developed in next 10 years.
Indians still wait to Explore True India!
