Rahul Gandhi should find a suitable hand to helm the party.
The exit poll results released on Sunday evening favours BJP-led NDA to retain power at the Centre.
Will the exit poll results come true?
If it does BJP would only have to thank the opposition particularly, Rahul Gandhi for gifting BJP another five years to rule the country.
For the government -led by Narendra Modi was in an unenviable situation when Election Commission announced dates for the polls in March. The fallout of demonetisation, GST, the monumental neglect of farmers and marginalized sections etc, had turned the masses against the government. Thereon, all that the opposition had to do was to capitalize on it; come together to form a formidable front and step up an aggressive campaign against the BJP to topple it. It was on this aspect that Rahul Gandhi miserably failed.
In U.P, in Delhi (how wrong was Rahul on relying on leaders like 81-year-old Sheila Dixit and sidelining Mani Shankar Aiyars') and in some other states he bungled by failing to align with potential allies. He then chose to contest from Wayanad thereby annoying the left parties.
The master strategist Amit Shah took care of the rest.
In Tamil Nadu, there need be no qualm in reiterating that DMK scion M.K.Stalin is more or less similar to Rahul Gandhi in the bungling game. He failed to strengthen the front, for instance by failing to rope in parties like Vijayakanth's DMDK into its fold.
Whether BJP wins or losses the Hindu nationalist party has changed the politics into a notoriously shrewd game. And the saffron party's victory doesn't augur well for our democracy.
Whether Congress manages to form a government or not it's time that Rahul Gandhi found a senior hand to helm the party till it is time for him to lead it. It appears that Rahul like his father Rajiv Gandhi is not made for politics. It was his mother Sonia Gandhi who is an adept politician. We don't know much about Priyanka Gandhi Vadra yet.
