"There is a work that my father had started, a dream he had dreamt. I come to you today saying…allow me to turn that dream into reality": this was Rahul Gandhi prior to 2009 Lok Sabha elections. The great success that Congress received during the elections catapulted Rahul as the undisputed leader of the masses, the most charming leader for the youth and somebody towards whom we can still look with hope for a better future for our great nation.
Rahul is working hard for fructification of his Dream Mission 2012, as per which he hope to regain power in Uttar Pradesh after nearly two decades. These polls are considered crucial for the Congress to re-emerge as the single dominant force at the Centre. At present, the party has merely 22 legislators in the 403-member State Assembly. To cash in on the strong undercurrent that Congressmen believe exists in several parts of Uttar Pradesh, Congress has decided to announce its candidates for the State Assembly elections almost a year before. Senior State Congress leaders like Rita Bahuguna Joshi believe that the poll preparations have already begun.
To gain a foothold in Jat-dominated western Uttar Pradesh, discussions are on with Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Ajit Singh to merge with the Congress before the assembly elections. Singh was not keen on merger but favoured a long-term alliance mutually beneficial for both the parties. Doors had already been opened to give a berth in Union Cabinet for Ajit Singh, but inside sources reveal that this had to be postponed when the Jat leader demanded the lucrative Petroleum ministry and gave no final indication for a merger.
Implementation of Rs. 7,266 crore package for Bundelkhand, a stronghold of UP Chief Minister Mayawati, too has been announced to put BJP and BSP on a back-foot.
Congress will have to play its cards well if it wishes to see its Dream Mission 2012 come true!
Another Mission 2011 on the anvil for Rahul
Mission 2012 may be to regain power in Uttar Pradesh. Another mission, Mission 2011 is reportedly on the anvil for the young and dashing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who unlike his rather flamboyant sister Priyanka, is known to keep a low profile. Mission 2011, say sources, is for a suitable bride for this most eligible bachelor. And this bride will not be Juanita, the Colombian girlfriend whom he met during his stay at Harvard. LW sources reveal that the bride-to-be has already been finalized and it is merely a matter of time when the announcement will be made. Rahul’s bride may well be one who might help him accomplish his Mission for 2012.
A few hearts are sure to get broken upon hearing the announcement. A lot many hearts, though, will be gladdened beyond doubt when they get to hear the welcome news of our own Rahul’s final settlement.
Mission 2011 highlights
Wanted a young, beautiful, decent, homely Brahmin girl, preferably from a politician’s family in Uttar Pradesh. If the family has had unflinching relationship with Congress in the past, nothing better.
All this on lighter side!
Rahul (to mother Sonia): Maa, meri shaadi kyon nahin ho rahi?
Sonia (to Rahul): This is because Congressmen, owing to your Mission 2012, have written on walls all over: ‘Sonia ko bahumat (bahu mat) do!
