How?By: Mallika | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 17:23:14 PM Reply | Forward Has he given a single interview yet? We have no idea what his stand is on various issues. It's a mockery that anyone with a known last name automatically becomes eligible to hold a post of governance is India. Without a hint of sarcasm or disdain- Mr. Gandhi, what are your qualifications to hold the most important office in the country?

got the answer, How????By: Santosh palekar | Friday , 9 Jan '09 3:19:36 AM Reply | Forward when killer like modi and advani can become politicans in India. then Rahul Gandhi is 1000 times better than such criminals. Atleast he does not have any criminal records. People like you only deserves to ruled by criminals and corrupt politicians, who can feed you for your filty ideas. Jai Hind

Day nor far when Rahul becomes PMBy: Dharam Pal | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 17:17:15 PM Reply | Forward There is no surprise that Rahul is being groomed to be the PM. With his family lineage it is in him to succeed his great forefathers. However the time has not come just yet. If he has a shot the high post immediately he may find it hard to assimilate the complex problems the country is facing at present. Rajiv was of some other mettle and had succeeded his MOTHER who was a great leader who had passed through turmoils of freedom movement and learnt politics at the feet of very seasoned leaders. If he is put in the post now it will always be said that it is only because of the legacy. Let him earn the honour through hard labours. He has the promise and can prove an asset to the country in whatever capacity he is destined to serve.

NEXT PMBy: AK | Friday , 9 Jan '09 6:42:18 AM Reply | Forward Mr.DP. where are you man.Do u know anything about this family or are u just from that chamcha/slavery type of congressi.HISTORY IS VERY CLEAR, Rajiv had nothing to do with Indian Politics. He was just happy with his Italian friends

Lineage in Democracy ???By: Dee | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:57:49 PM Reply | Forward Wow!! When in democracy people are chosen because of Lineage.. Please go to Saudi Arabia- a single family owned a country as the result of polygamy and incest. Look at U.S. from nowhere Obama, a graduate of Harvard outshine.. That is democracy. On the other side, product of lineage Bush took country 10 years back..

Future P.M.By: H.Mehta | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 17:16:46 PM Reply | Forward If BJP wants to win loksabha election Mr. Narendra Modi shouild be projected as P.M. instead of Advani who is too old to derseve as P.M. and particularly now young voters will reject him against other party's youngman projecting as P.M. Further in all states BJP should fight alone without support of other regional parties and after election if necessary the support can be taken according to circumstances.

Future in Jail very soonBy: Santosh Palekar | Friday , 9 Jan '09 3:23:46 AM Reply | Forward Mr. Mehta, firstly, If Narendra Modi will be projected as BJP PM candidate, most of NDA parties will leave support for BJP. Secondly modi will only retain his position in Gujurat, coz only gujuratis understand his language. If BJP will stand alone then they will face the brunt of regional parties and not even make to 20% of seats required for majority.

AgreeBy: Dee | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:00:24 PM Reply | Forward U know these minorities, they gonna sell the country to Saudi Arabia if N Modi is chosen, but I agree with u Advani should retire. So Arun Shourie is a better option

RahulGandhi_PM in waitingBy: Vijay Dewan | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 17:02:41 PM Reply | Forward Rahul Gandhi_ the PM in waitingFrom the performance of Rajiv Gandhi who followed his Illustrious mother one would say Rahul can prove an asset. But if he rides on the shoulders of sycophants Rahul will not be a deserving foil to his father who had a very independent mind. Even with his good sense and honest intentions he failed to hold power for long because somewhere he failed to see through the ill designs of unscruplous elements in the party and the Government. Let Rahul gain some more experience and learn to ignore the darbaris.

Pranab speks irrelevant things.By: gary | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 16:59:27 PM Reply | Forward He speaks too much and unwanted things.

True CongressmanBy: Pankaj Vohra | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 16:43:57 PM Reply | Forward Spoken like a true congress man who are still slaves 62 years after independence. Earlier it was goras now its indians with a italian twist.

Rahul.. ?. under what credibility ??By: KP Pillai | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 16:40:58 PM Reply | Forward It will be a sad day for Indians, if ever this happens as we are throwing this great, big country, world's largest democracy, into the hands of a kid to toss and play. People like Pranab Kumar Mukherjee should not indulge in such irresponsible statements, given his wisdom, intelligence and maturity. It is a different matter that Congress will not rule this country in the near future; although the finance management of UPA did well. Where is its strength anyway? Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Tripura, UP, MP, HP, Chatisgarh, Gujarat, Orissa, Bihar, Karnataka, Punjab are closed for Congress. Keralla, few seats can be expected this time, from the NIL last time, Andhra cannot be predicted due to Chiranjeevi's emergence and Maharashtra confusion prevails. Rest are few seats of Assam, the tiny, 2 seated N-E states and Pondicherry. Is Pranab in a position to make Rahul PM with some 30-45 seats? My God !! The communists will eat him.

Rahul PM?By: "CongressHater" | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 16:38:44 PM Reply | Forward Rahul to be PM? Grand old man, what else do you need to ruin this country? This Nehru-Gandhi chamcha probably cannot retain his ministerial position at the center unless he praises the Gandhi family time to time. He is getting too old and unfit to handle the affairs of counry at this crisis and needs to retire and seek asylum. What quality did he see in Rahul that he needs to be fit for a PM someday? Slavery hasn't ended in India, is it??

NepotismBy: Rakesh Kumar | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 16:38:02 PM Reply | Forward This nepotism is what drags India down. Only sons and daughters of big shot and this case the Gandhi family have the right to rule the 'common man'. Whe will India become a mature democracy when people can aspire to reah the top post despite not having a proper surname.

WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO TIP FOR INDIA'S HIGHEST POST ?By: ANIYAN | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 16:33:49 PM Reply | Forward AN INTELLIGENT AND VERY EXPERIENCED MINISTER LIKE PRANAB KUMAR MUKHERJEE, WOULD NOT SEND SUCH SALVO, WITHOUT AN INNER MEANING, GIVEN HIS WISDOM AND MATURITY. MUKHERJEE IS DEFINITELY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH MANMOHAN SINGH, WHO WAS THE RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR, WHEN HE WAS THE FINANCE MINISTER, IN THE HANDLE OF THE PRESENT TENSION WITH PAKISTAN. HE KNOWS THAT HE WILL NOT BE ELEVATED TO PM POSITION SURPASSING MANMOHAN OR EVEN ANTONY, WHO IS A FAVOURITE OF SONIA. SO, PRANAB KNOWS THAT HIS FATE IS SEALED AND HE WANTS IT TO BE SEALED ON OTHERS TOO. IT IS SURPRISING THAT RAHUL GANDHI, WHO PROVED NEITHER ANY QUALITY IN PARLIAMENT OR IN HIS PARTY ACTIVITIES, IS TIPPED FOR THE HIGHEST JOB OF THIS COUNTRY, PURELY ON THE BASIS OF HIS BELONGING TO NEHRU CLAN. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG, EXPERIENCED HANDS IN THE CONGRESS PARTY WHO ARE FIT AND OUTFIT TO TAKE UP. PK MAHANTA LED A MOVEMENT, UNDER AASU AND BECAME CM UNDER A CLEAR VERDICT, SO IS OMAR. ANTONY AND PAWAR ALSO BECAME CM AT YOUNG AGE.
