Rahul Gandhi ran a lousy election campaign behaving like an entitled prince trying to oust a usurper

The truth is that the Congress party did not offer Indian voters anything other than an entitled prince and princess who hoped to win only by exalting the ‘charisma’ of a Dynasty that has ruled too long.

Rahul Gandhi’s resignation letter horrified me. Not because I do not think he did the honourable thing by accepting responsibility for the drubbing the Congress party got in the recent general election. But, because of what he said about India and her democratic institutions. If he wrote the letter himself, then he would do well not to return from his summer holiday. What is the point of returning to a political career in a country whose institutions he has such contempt for? If someone else wrote the letter, then that person should emigrate forthwith.
