Politics of Choice

While tarnishing the image of Narendra Modi in the Congress Parliamentary Party meeting, Rahul Gandhi attacked on two front, demonetization and Pakistan policy.  His tailor made remarks are ‘PM is the prisoner of his own image’.  He further elaborated that PM decisions are based on TRP rather than reality.  His objection is on autocratic attitude of Mr Modi; the way decisions are taken single-handedly by surpassing the intellectuals from his cabinet and party.  ‘The result of the catastrophic soon will be revealed to the entire world’ he said.  He genuinely pointed out that the poor are waiting in line while the corrupt are being given a free bypass through the new Income Tax Law.  To make Modi an effective PM, his suggestion is valid that the PM should attend the Parliament and to listen the views of parliamentarian.  ‘Rahul Gandhi himself suffered from arrogance and incompetence’ BJP’s attacked Gandhi over his observations.  Both the parties have opposite views; it is the public to give verdict by exercising the franchise at an appropriate time.
