I wonder what Congress party's "Discover India" is all about. Which India is Rahul Gandhi all set to discover? Is it the India which his grandmom started with "Garibi Hatao", but never did eliminate even after being in power for 16 years? Is it India which his dad Rajiv promised, but failed to change it or on the contrary the secular india which Rajiv made communal (Shah Bano Case and reopening Babri Masjid for Hindus)? Or is it India which his mom campaigned for "Aaam admi", but failed miserably? Or is it India in which he sees he becoming future PM? Or is it "Discovery of India" written by Nehru?
The country today has become very complex in voting patterns and the voter is increasingly becoming choosy and smart. All this publicity stunts with media at the forefront is the grand old strategy of Congress for 50 years to grab power. It was the media that highlighted Indira's campaign for Harijan massacre that brought her back to power. Who knows that the present media heavily covering non-realistic Rahul Discovery India campaign will make him a real hero? A real hero ironic to its meaning. India Discovery is Rahul's Discovery of "Desh ki Satta ki kursi". What Congress is all set is to discover Rahul Gandhi's acceptability amongst "aam aadmi" which it knows has failed to please. Rahul is no match for Rajiv. No doubt, Rajiv failed, but he did change some things, but Rahul has not helped even Amethi as much as he claims. He only speaks much like any other typical politician found in all parties. Both Sonia and Rahul know only to speak and do something only meager and expect bounty full of votes. With media heavily campaigning for Rahul more than Rahul campaigning for votes will ensure Rahul is next PM. With slogans and statements like "Rahul: Is he the new face of India?", all that the media is doing is masking the failures of UPA government. Instead of highlighting where National Rural Employment Guarantee has failed, how the waiving of loans is not going to help farmers in anyway, media is making Rahul an iconic figure.

It is frustrating, but the “janatha” is helpless.
We don’t act, especially since we want to reap the benefits of our actions almost instantaneously. Short of a revolution things of this nature cannot be stopped. If, only if today’s younger generation took note of how much better their lives could have been under a better leadership…
It’s funny how we all focus/spend our energy on demanding better service every time we go to get a cup of coffee but care less when the people who are chartered to shape our future and our children’s future are messing up things forever…
