(8 Sep 2013)
That you’d openly recommend Rahul Gandhi – someone who’s
half your age, one-tenth your caliber, and one-hundredth your experience – as
your preferred choice for the Prime Minister’s job in 2014 was no surprise. But
Dr. singh, did you realise you scaled the highest order of shamelessness when
you offered your gratitude to be able to work ‘under him’? Guessing the answer
is a no-brainer.
It defies every logic known to humans that can explain how
this person who has no understanding at all of politics or the political system
or issues facing today’s youth, can be your ‘leader’, whereas he’s repeatedly
proved how worthless he is even as a ‘follower’ of his own mother. He had a
rather filmy parachute landing onto the political spectrum, much in line with his
family tradition. He’s failed miserably in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in
galvanising the youth, something he’s been proclaiming as his highest priority
within the Congress machinery. He’s hardly made any public appearances as a
‘speaker’ and he’s almost never faced the press to communicate what solutions
he would love to propose to the country. He is either always missing from the
parliament when it’s in session, or he is dumb as the dead if he’s in there.
Dr. Singh, the people of the country want to know your projected
‘leader’ better. They have millions of questions they’d love to ask him. They
want to know what his plans for them are. Where does he live? Neither India nor
Bharat seems to know where he is! Gone are the days when you could fool people
with photo-stunts like spending a night with a ‘dalit’ family or boarding the
public transport for a travel.
Mr. Prime Minister, please be advised that you’re still the
leader of the country. We know you’ve got used to these practices, but then
please have a secret conversation with your conscience and ask it if it knows
where your true dignity lies. Everyone knows you won’t be the next Prime
Minister of India, but do you understand that the best thing you can do to
restore chunks of your lost valor is to take ‘sanyas’ from politics after your
term in the office?
We could still remember you not only as the weakest Prime
Minister of all times, but also as someone who listened to his conscience,
albeit too late!
