After seeing the live gaffe, edited videos, election rallies, interaction with students, and civil society of Rahul Gandhi, mixed thoughts cross the minds for some the emotions are to be sympathetic and for some its disgust.
Why Rahul has to go through all this humiliation, Should people be so judgmental about these things, a learning politician goes through ups and downs.
Why after so many goofups, slip of tongue, foot in mouth moment he is still around, why he is given so much privilege in media and slight turnaround in his political fortune is deduced as his comeback moment.
All what is negative is not having any juice which can be debated, so author will try to analyze why the positive cited with him are false positives.
In authors view the first genuine interaction which he had in open forum was with Arnub Goswami just before 2014 election.
As it was perceived that time that arnub rips apart the interviewee, it was pleasant surprise that his interview with Rahul Gandhi went without any pyrotechnics.
Interestingly the interview itself was not newsworthy but the aftermath of it presented a youth leader hollow with ideas, conviction, coherency and purpose.
From that to latest about NCC-MRI-ISIS-DOKLAM, we have seen Rahul Gandhi as very ordinary person who is just listened because he belongs to nehru-gandhi ancestry.
Why he is so incoherent with his thought process, few reasons author can conclude - Rahul Gandhi lacks "Swadhay - self initiated learning", disconnect with history, disconnect with current affairs, faking humbleness.
Last point need elaboration. His replies to queries with which either he is unaware or not updated carries peculiar behavior.
Author don't know the word to describe but it's very prevalent in people who are rich and has been advised by their well-wishers to play down their privileged upbringing and don't be pretentious.
Rahul shows his ignorance, accepts that but tone and expression shows "ok I don't know what you are asking but I don't care about it because it's only a privilege I am extending you to ask some stupid question".
In simple words it's like saying ok I have Versace suit, but I can live without it because I have other suits of more expensive brands and I also know you are pointing it to me because you cannot afford to have it.
It's pretentious of Rahul Gandhi to show humble ness and ignorance. He wear it proudly on his sleeves.
For a person of same age, heading a business or being entrepreneur or having successful career, life will not give so many comeback moment.
It's only that congress party has been reduced to dynasty subservient, unending privileges are bestowed upon certain Rahul who is also a gandhi.
