look at it.
It tells us about a politician
Rahul Gandhi who is subscribed to his viewpoint only believing what he thinks
for India’s future is imperative for India and there is no one else but Rahul himself
and his party (in the political spectrum) who can achieve it.
It tells us the politician Rahul
Gandhi is someone who believes what he thinks deserves to be thought and propagated and what
others expect from him may or may not matter. His viewpoint is deep and others’
superficial.
It tells us Rahul believes that the
negative factors against Congress and the UPA government can be tackled by
giving the people their chance to participate in the process of the ‘politics
of change’.
It tells us Rahul believes the
negatives factors, an absolutely high anti-incumbency, senseless acts leading
to price-rise in every segment and senseless statements on price-rise,
epidemic level of political corruption, are not that negative and are hyped up, blaming the media to be unfair of targeting his party and his party’s
government.
It tells us about a politician
Rahul Gandhi who is not fully aware how difficult it has become to handle the
indifference to the Congress party.
It tells us about a politician
Rahul Gandhi who still thinks he is in his experimental days of politics and
thinks people still think of his ideas as revolutionary, as game-changers. He
still thinks people see him as the ‘politician with a difference’ that he
initially sounded to be.
It tells us about a politician
Rahul Gandhi who still believes people take his family members’ views as true,
honest, accepting whatever they say on its face-value.
It tells us about a politician
Rahul Gandhi who is talking out of the context of the social and political
reality of the India of the day, a social reality where the common man has become
so frustrated with the present political system that he prefers a debutant like
the Aam Aadmi Party; a political reality where every politician promises to be
different and devoted to the cause of the common man when it comes to the
elections, but starts behaving as the ruler once he assumes the office.
Then there is an alternative way
to look at it, on what this line spoken by Rahul Gandhi during his first formal
television interview tells about the politician Rahul Gandhi.
