Out of My Mind: The new normal
Rahul has transformed the Congress into a Hindu nationalist party. In Gujarat, he made a tentative test drive. It worked wonders.
The results of the state elections about to come out in two days are unique. They are the semifinals of the big battle coming next year, of course. But more than that, this is the first confrontation between the BJP and the new redesigned Congress under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership. Rahul has transformed the Congress into a Hindu nationalist party. In Gujarat, he made a tentative test drive. It worked wonders. The BJP just scraped through. While Modi is trying to achieve Congress-mukt Bharat, Rahul has installed a Nehru-mukt Congress. Gone are the pretensions of secularism, though Great Grandpa is worshipped. Now Rahul fronts a Hindu nationalist party while concentrating solely on Modi by engaging in personal attacks. He has even gone on to question Modi’s Hinduism, which would be astonishing if it was not pathetic.
