India’s “Second Big Political Renunciation” in 2014 |
||||
by Dr. Subhash Kapila |

Rahul Gandhi, the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty seems all set to be the Congress Party’s Prime Minister candidate for the 2014 General Elections. It is my gut feeling and I could be wrong that 2014 is likely to witness India’s “Second Big Political Renunciation” if the Congress Party is able to cobble up some political coalition and romp into power once again. If it does, it is my hunch that like Sonia Gandhi made the “Great Renunciation” and nominated Dr. Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister in 2004, Rahul Gandhi can be expected to make the “Second Big Political Renunciation” in 2014 and perpetuate the myth that the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty while it leads the Congress Party to victory, it is not greedy for heading the Government.
Mr. Chidambaram in my opinion is amply capable relatively to be the next Congress Party Prime Minister but the problem is that he lacks a wide political base within the Congress Party. And that is where comes in the alternative of his being anointed as Prime Minister by Sonia Gandhi in the event of the “Second Big Political Renunciation”. |
