Summary: The coming of age of Rahul Gandhi, the dynast who astutely used principles of management to recast the massive organisation of the Congress party, the near-annihilation of the Left Front for being yesterday's party, a disdain for the politics of the caste parties and a rejection of the divisive ideas of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party -- all these reasons added up to make the Congress whole more than a sum of its parts. Feudal dynasts used to survive on the principle that they could never be mistaken, and if anything did go wrong it was someone else's fault. The key question, therefore, is whether the Democratic dynasts will accept those terms. |
