Rahul fails litmus test
Rahul Fails Litmus Test, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi Failed the litmus Test. Reacting to Modi’s challenge, Rahul said, “ he leads another party, he believes in a different perspective but the Congress will push for what it believes in and in its perspective.”
Vows to transform Cong, empower common man
New Delhi: For the one aspiring to be Prime Minister, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi seems to have failed the litmus test of delivering victory in the latest round of Assembly polls, ahead of the crucial General Election in 2014. With Rahul Gandhi leading the election campaign from the front for the Congress, the virtual decimation of the Congress in the Hindi-heartland states will make it tough for him to inject enthusiasm in the party in the run up to the parliamentary elections. He, however. has vowed to bring about a transformation in the party by empowering the common man.
Both Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi were quick to appear before the media, soon after the electoral drubbing. Rahul Gandhi was more categorical, saying that the people have delivered a message, which he and his party have heard with just not mind but the heart. The Congress has the ability to transform itself and stand up to the expectations. Rahul Gandhi acknowledged that AAP has involved a lot of people, which the traditional parties do not. He stressed on the need to move to a new paradigm to give a serious place to the common man. There is a need to think more aggressively in terms of giving space and empowerment to the common man and the Congress will do this in a better way than anyone can think of.
Reacting to Modi’s challenge, Rahul said, “ he leads another party, he believes in a different perspective but the Congress will push for what it believes in and in its perspective.”
