Then there is an alternative way
to look at it, the ‘can also be’ way, on what this line spoken by Rahul Gandhi
during his first formal television interview tells us about the politician
Rahul Gandhi.
It can also tell us Rahul Gandhi
is a mismatch to the political ecosystem of the Congress party as he thinks on
high values of a democracy and wants to inculcate the culture in the nation but
has not been able to push his ideas further because of the inherent obstacles
existent in the work-culture of the Congress party.
If it is so, then it tells us
about the fading magnetism of the Nehru-Gandhi family for the Congress politicians,
but that is one highly unlikely scenario in the prevailing political
circumstances of the country.
If it is so, then it tells us
Rahul Gandhi sees an opportunity now to push his agenda further, when the grand
old party of India is facing a historically low credibility crisis and other
Congress politicians are in no position to raise points of objection.
But these are just the unlikely
viewpoints that present an aspect of the Rahul Gandhi persona that suggest what
he could have been.
On point of clarity, the most
likely and the ‘direct, most possible’ interpretation of Rahul’s ‘may be, you
find me strange’, in the prevailing circumstances, is - Rahul Ganndi is ‘still
misreading the social and political reality of India and his family’s and Congress’
positioning in all this’.
