Many a time the Indian National Congress in the last few years has been called the BJP's B team. This appellation seems more and more true as time is passing. With Modi's rule plagued by errors, mistakes, blunders and snafus galore, the Congress under the leadership of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi have not been able to take advantage of these and re-instate their position in the Indian voters minds. Election after election both to Parliament and the States they have been losing with each debacle worse than the earlier one. Rahul believes that making comments on Twitter snide or otherwise will bring down Modi's government which someone has to tell him is sadly not true. He has to come on to the streets and capture the public mind on serious issues like runaway inflation by collective action across the country. Only then will the people believe that Rahul means business. The Gandhi family as we can see shows little interest in building up the Congress as a clear cut alternative to the BJP. That is why Modi has been boastful of the BJP ruling for another 50 years. Time therefore for the Gandhi family to retire gracefully from the Congress and Indian politics and let others take the reins for the sake of the country.
