Prince is pwned, and how!

To distract himself from the Congress’s miserable performance in the Bihar Assembly election despite his energetic campaign of slander and calumny, Mr Rahul Gandhi went on a three-city tour of Gujarat last Friday. But if he was looking forward to hordes of fawning supplicants gathering at Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Rajkot to pay homage to their Prince and swear undying loyalty to the Dynasty, he was in for a rude surprise. In each city he was baldly told by brash youngsters about Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s development agenda and how it had placed Gujarat on the fast track to rapid growth. So why was he cavilling against the man to whom credit goes for fashioning the model for effective governance? In Ahmedabad a young girl, disregarding the heir apparent’s exalted status, got into an argument with him. “I challenge you to name Congress leaders who can measure up to Narendra Modi on development work,” she tauntingly asked Mr Rahul Gandhi. Obviously India’s middle-aged Prince who fervently hopes the septuagenarian Regent will one day step aside to let him sit on the masnad of Delhi and not do unto him what the Queen has done unto Prince Charles, did not take kindly to such harangue. And so he snapped at those dazzled by Mr Narendra Modi’s ‘minimum Government, maximum governance’ agenda: “Mao also developed China but he caused destruction to the country too.” The feisty young student, refusing to be put down by the Prince’s snub, retorted: “You are referring to the Gujarat riots. Both Muslims and Hindus died in that violence.” Stunned that a commoner should have the temerity to call the bluff of the scion of the Dynasty, he walked out of the meeting, muttering something to the effect that he was “getting late”. We don’t know what transpired after that, but a fair guess would be the youngsters burst into raucous laughter and reached for their cell phones to text the story of how they had lyk, pwned da Prince. (No, the words are not misspelt; to learn what they mean, and to be uber cool, look up the Urban Dictionary. I am learning.)

This is not the first time that Mr Rahul Gandhi, the great hope of the Congress and therefore of the country, has had to face a rough time while playing evangelist. Earlier this year, on February 2, the Congress general secretary who can do no wrong and whose dismal failure is the stuff of which grand political triumph is constructed, had to offer a grovelling apology to the students of Lalit Narayan Mithila University at Darbhanga in Bihar after bad-mouthing Gujarat and Mr Narendra Modi. Addressing the students at the start of what the party faithful had billed as a two-day visit to the State to “shore up support for the Congress”, the Prince thundered: “For India to be changed (presumably into the bhooka-nanga Bharat of his dreams) Gujarat needs to be changed first.” All hell broke loose in the hall as outraged students turned on him with remarkable ferocity. “This meeting is not a platform for making political statements,” one of them shouted. Another student caustically asked, “What about the condition of Bihari youth in Congress-ruled Maharashtra and even under the Central rule of your party?” A third demanded, “Why are you involving Gujarat here?” A visibly rattled Rahul Gandhi sought to pacify the angry students, saying it was “just a slip of the tongue” and that he meant to say “For India to be changed, Bihar needs to be changed first.” That was an unambiguous statement: Bihar needs to get rid of the JD(U)-BJP alliance in power. It only served to make the students see red and bedlam followed. The Prince had to virtually flee the venue. That evening, news channels, including the ever-so-loyal NDTV and CNN-IBN, showed footage of the meeting released by the Congress in which the Prince was seen boldly denouncing Gujarat and by implication Mr Narendra Modi, with anchors approvingly nodding their heads. The rest of the tape had been carefully sliced off. To the horror of the Congress and its publicists, the full tape surfaced on YouTube, where it still exists.

But let’s get back to the Bihar Assembly election and the massive mandate for the JD(U)-BJP alliance which has swept the polls, demolishing both ‘secular’ foes and ‘secular’ myths. The RJD’s decimation — Ms Rabri Devi was booted out of Raghopur by her kinsmen and lost in the other Yadav-dominated ‘safe’ seat she contested too — and Mr Lalu Prasad Yadav’s subsequent redundancy in Bihar politics were not entirely unexpected. Nor did anybody seriously expect Mr Ram Vilas Paswan to be sworn in as Chief Minister with an Osama bin Laden lookalike as his deputy. What, however, has come as a stunner is the rout of the Congress: Not only has the party managed to halve the seats it held in the last Assembly, it has also lost votes across the State. The bulk of the Congress’s candidates had been carefully hand-picked under the supervision of the Prince if not by him and if Akbar Road gossip is to be believed each of them was paid a fortune towards election expenses. Mr Rahul Gandhi, sleeves rolled, led the Congress’s campaign from the front with Ms Sonia Gandhi providing him with covering fire. He addressed 19 “mammoth” rallies covering more than a hundred constituencies. And his recurring refrain was that the JD(U)-BJP Government had squandered all the money given by New Delhi instead of putting Bihar on the path of development. People gawked at his helicopter and baulked at his bare-faced lie. And voted with their feet.

Meanwhile, in the studios of news channels in Delhi, disbelief and horror ran high as the enormity of the Congress’s defeat emerged the day the results were declared. As my friend on Twitter @zenrainman tweeted, anchors and ‘experts’ desperately looked for “the dark lining to the silver cloud”. When they couldn’t find it, they came up with the startling suggestion that this was the BJP’s opportunity to disown its own and embrace Mr Nitish Kumar as the NDA’s choice for the Prime Minister’s job. The Delhi commentariat, in its profound wisdom, believes that a national party should concede the top job to a regional ally to prove its ‘secular’ credentials. Sophists pompously declared it was the BJP’s Clause IV moment. Nobody spoke of how Mr Nitish Kumar, for all his dislike of Mr Narendra Modi, has adopted the Modi Model of good governance and tough administration; how path-breaking schemes introduced in Gujarat have been adapted in Bihar; how he has tapped ‘Bihari pride’ to his advantage; and, how he has fashioned himself as Bihar’s sole leader after the leader the secularists love to hate.

India deserves far better than a Regent who prefers silence over staunching corruption and under whose watch the country has been looted and sacked again and again. India definitely does not deserve a Prince who wants to recast the country as bhooka-nanga Bharat where Government will be an aid handout agency dependent on foreign donors. India deserves a leader who can make Indians, irrespective of faith, community and caste, proud of their ability to scale new heights of achievement. And that leader is Mr Narendra Modi. If there has been a seismic change in political discourse and the crafting of a political agenda that focuses on governance and delivery, the credit goes to him. Call him ‘Maodi’ if you must, but don’t grudge him his due.

Awesome article bro.Hope soon he(Rahul baba) goes to Colombia to settle with his girlfriend in the Colombian countryside.

leg pulling from BJP :lol:

He said the BJP sympathised with the Congress for its "massive loss" in the Bihar elections and said the party was in a state of disarray and its leaders were directionless.

Hussain was also critical of Gandhi's statement made in Gujarat yesterday where the Congress leader compared the chief minister Narendra Modi with Chinese revolutionary leader Mao.

"Rahul Gandhi wants to take out the frustration of Bihar's election loss in Gujarat. Such statements are expected from him at such a time. We have sympathy for him and we can understand what his mental condition would be like after such a big loss", the BJP leader said.

He said the people of Gujarat have time and again given a fitting reply whenever such statements emerge from a national party like Congress.

"We wish that he campaigns in Gujarat in 2012 just as he did in Bihar and go to all the constituencies and face an even bigger defeat", Hussain said.

BJP today took potshots at Sonia Gandhi and Rahul in the context of Bihar assembly poll outcome saying the Congress general secretary's strike rate was "in minus" as the party fared poorly wherever he canvassed.

"Sonia and Rahul campaigned extensively in Bihar. Rahul campaigned in 70 districts and 22 seats but the party could not win a single seat in any of these. The party won four seats in two areas - Kishanganj and Purnia - where he did not go. Thus, his strike rate is in minus", BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters in New Delhi.

He said the BJP sympathised with the Congress for its "massive loss" in the Bihar elections and said the party was in a state of disarray and its leaders were directionless.

Hussain was also critical of Gandhi's statement made in Gujarat yesterday where the Congress leader compared the chief minister Narendra Modi with Chinese revolutionary leader Mao.
