'Dynasty-ism', 'Nepotism' and 'Sycophancy' in Congress

The recent appointment of utterly useless Rahul Gandhi as Congress General Secretary, NSUI General Secretary and Youth Congress General Secretary once again re-affirms the point that Con-gress is a nepotistic, dynastic party where the only ones who call the shots are Nehru-Gandhi descendants, and having Nehru-Gandhi in your name automatically guarantees you ascension to top-level positions in the party.

What exactly has Rahul Gandhi done to merit this position? Was he chosen on the basis of the performance he displayed by reducing the Congress vote share in UP? Or was he chosen on the basis of the quality of Colombian bimbo he has been able to hook up with? Or was he selected for his innocent, cherubic face which can charm the ignorant, illiterate masses to the extent Laloo’s rustic, boorish and buffoonish ways do? Or was he chosen because he is a son of an absolutely incompetent and inarticulate Italian bitch who currently heads the Congress party? Or was he chosen because he’s the grandson of a certain Indira Gandhi who was moronic enough to release captured 93,000 captured Pakistanis, in return for Pakistan’s signing of Simla Agreement which it has flagrantly violated? Or was he chosen because he’s the great-grandson of utterly incompetent Jawarlal Nehru-who become the PM at the behest of nepotistic Gandhi’s overruling the decision of 15 state Congress units which had actually chosen Sardar Patel for the post of PM- and went on to unleash one disaster after another on our country, during his rein?

Whatever be the proclaimed reason, the truth of the matter is that Congress is a party wherein for a member nothing is a greater sign of capability than being born in the parivar. How else can you explain Rahul Gandhi pompously and shamelessly declaring in 2004 that “I could have become the PM of India at the age of 25”? The parivar has treated the party as their 'jagir' and the country as their fiefdom. Nehru, Indira, Sanjay, Rajiv, Sonia, Rahul, it's sickening.

Anyone who rebels against the dynasty is reduced to being a non-entity or is shunted out of the party. What happened to Pawar and Sangma? How else was Antonia Maino elected as the party president over above Sitaram Kesri, a more experienced and a more-deserving candidate?

The Congress party is rotten with Gandhi-Nehru bootlickers, third-grade guttersnipes, abominable sycophants who have not a smidgen of pride and self-respect, who miss no opportunity in displaying their loyalty to the great parivar. A look at the current cabinet ministers tells us that even if you have failed to win elections, even if you have questionable credentials; you can still be a minister provided you have had a consistent track record of wagging you tail before the parivar members.

Home Minister Shivraj Patil:

The bastard is alleged to have links with Naxalities. He had lost the Lok Sabha election from Latur, and still finds himself as the Home Minister simply because he has been a loyal soldier of the parivar.

Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee:

This man, in spite of no record of contesting elections till 04, finds himself in charge of important Defence Portfolio. To be noted that he won his only election from Jangipur seat in WB, which is a Congress stronghold, where a Congressman is assured of a victory.

Law Minister Hansraj Bharadwaj:

His father was a Nehru and Indira loyalist. Hansraj continued the family tradition and was a Rajiv loyalist. It’s only because of his unwavering loyalty that he’s been able to get nominated in Rajya Sabha time and time again. And, yes he was the person who went ahead with de-freezing Quatrochi’s Accounts, thus helping him to flee.

Similar things can be said about the likes of Mani Shanker Aiyar, Ambika Soni, Renuka Chowdhary etc. And who can forget the great Pratibha Patil, the most famous geriatric of India; senile, titular, puppet President.

The thing common to all of them is: They are all dogs. But it has to be said, to their credit, that they are dogs of the highest grade. They all have an exceptional record of parivar-service. If only we had a few dogs that are as loyal to India as these dogs are to Nehru-Gandhi parivar, our country would have surely progressed more.

Also, detestable was the way our newspapers announced this story. Look at the headlines of some of the popular newspapers:

“Rahul's elevation shows Cong confidence ahead of elections”

“Post-makeover, Cong gets future-ready”

“Another Yuvraj rises? Rahul made gen secy”

Some of them sounded like Congress propaganda rags proclaiming Rahul Gandhi’s appointment as a victory of youth over ‘old-guard’, and likening him to Dhoni, Yuvraj. If these newspaper rags had an ounce of objectivity left, they wouldn’t have shied away from describing what a contrast Rahul Gandhi’s appointment was to Dhoni’s appointment as the captain which was purely merit-based. They wouldn’t have refrained from drawing a contrast between India’s winning of World Cup and elevation of members of same family-dynasty in Congress.

To conclude the post, it makes sense to wonder: What would change if any one of us was in place of Rahul Gandhi born in the parivar? Nothing, actually. Even with more capabilities we would only be as worthy as the utterly useless, pumpkin Rahul Gandhi is. What would change if Rahul Gandhi was in our place? Much! He would have been nothing more than a watchman, if not a waiter.
