Shave your beard! Mr. Rahul Gandhi

When the country was debating over the landmark judgment of the Apex Court, which entitles them to register their “democratic dissent” over EVMs; something very weird was orchestrated by the first family of the Congress party. Mr. Ajay Maken kept down his phone and announced that the Hon’ble Vice-President of the party padhar rehe hain...

He rushed in! He said what he was asked to say! And he rushed out!!

This Ordinance, in its process and content, is no good. And it does not require any imprimatur from Mr. Rahul Gandhi, the Silent second-leader-on-command. However, he speaking and using hard words raised many eye brows both inside the government and outside.

“It (the Ordinance) is complete non sense. It should be torn up and thrown away. It is my personal opinion.” He said.

I could recall, Mr. B.R.Ambedkar using similar language in Rajya Sabha on 2^nd September 1953, where he said, 

“…I shall be the first person to burn it (the Constitution) out. I do not want it.”

Ambedkar’s frustration is clearly understandable. He said, he was a ‘hack’ and he did what he was asked to do, much against his will. Moreover, in his opinion, “(the Constitution) does not suit anybody”. But when RaGa chooses these languages I politely ask: Why you? Why now?

This Ordinance was placed before the Cabinet and the Representation of People (Second Amendment) Bill, 2013 was introduced in Rajya Sabha under your nose! Were you not aware of? Why this sudden rise of conscience now? Why this grandstanding after Milind Deora’s criticism and BJP’s President meet? Mr. Gandhi, You have to explain! And you have to explain more… why this new Congress line now? Is this UPA government not led by your party? Or have you decided to kick Lalu Prasad out and go ahead with Nitish? 

Importantly, Mr. Rahul! Your bossy élan! Ridiculous! By the way, was it an off-late image building from ‘jack’? Or was a desperate attempt to assert leadership? Have His Excellency tutored you well? Or have you realized that your Rasheed Masood can’t go through and will get pressed down hard under NOTA button, in any case?

Mr. Gandhi! As Mr. Jaitley said ‘damage control exercise’ won’t help! Everyone can see through. You could have been a little more honest. Belated realization, if any could have been communicated better. Snubbing the Prime Minister, when he can’t fight back and using these languages only shows your political iniquity. If you want to look good, shave your beard instead of lathering Manmohan’s. Contrarian approach and Back biting won’t get you vote. Why call this ordinance ‘Non-Sense’, when most of us personally think you to be the one? I sympathize!
