Each time they open their mouth, Indian politicians try to show how much they are in contact with the aam admi and aam aurat.
On election tours, they hop off their Z-plus security cordons and press some flesh. On the road, they stop by and eat at dhabas and thrust a 500-rupee note. And in their policies, they are forever trying to show that their heart is in the right place.
It takes a blast in Ahmedabad to show how insecure the life of the common man and woman is in the country. And it takes another 36 hours for a story like this to emerge:
New Delhi: Delhi Police wants a slum cluster located in the high security Tughlak Road area, where the home of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is located, to be removed as they pose a security risk to the high profile residents there.
Read the full story: Slums behind Rahul’s house, a threat
For the sheer number of terrorist attacks and the number of victims they claimed, and for his complete apathy in the face of this misery, Singh The King is more aptly called PRIME MONSTER.
Yes their lives are worth more than ours as they have to take care of all their secrete swiss bank accounts. Phew! what a big responsibility and these common folk don’t understand?
not surprising to see Nehru family grab other people’s land and push them into misery so that they can have a cushy lifestyle. now they are after the land of poor people.
Rahul probably would give superficial “gyan” on how nuclear energy is going to reduce her poverty so that she can stay in a flat instead of a slum, after xx years. And then he will drive away in his security-clad toyota.
But why talk about Rahul Gandhi only ? In general, to middle-class well-off “Indians” ; rural vulnerable “Bharatiyas” are good to discuss from far . But when the “Bharatiyas” arrive near your doorstep , then “Indians” find them far from good to handle; whether they are security risks or culture shocks.
Bharat and India are like the Kipling’s East & the West. ….. never the twain shall meet…………
Did anyone wonder why Kalawati and her family live in desperate poverty when India was under the leadership of Nehru-Gandhi family or their stooges for decades?
If you search old archives, you will find a photo of Nehru inaugurating Damodar Valley Corporation’s (DVC) first dam thro’ the hands of a tribal lady. DVC was a major project and this photo made lots of headlines, polemic those days.
However, fact remains, that tribal lady (sorry I forgot her name) was forgotten, and died in a bad shape.
Rahul is not Nehru, neither his speech can be equated with Nehru’s inauguration of DVC, though parallel can be made how celebrity politicians use a face to their advantage, and Kalavatis remain where they were.
Who is the terrorist? Rahul! May be so. So move him from there, which is easier.
After 60 years of Independence. Indians are not really independent in this country. We are either sworn sympathisers to Nehru-Gandhi family for reasons not known to us.
Every monument or schemes in India are named after NEHRU-GANDHI Family. They have ensured that they can institutionalise anything in this country under their family name.
To name a few
INDIRA GANDHI NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY
INDIRA GANDHI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
SANJAY GANDHI NATIONAL PARK
SANJAY GANDHI HOSPITAL
RAJIV GANDHI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
JAWARHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY
RAJIV GANDHI COLLEGE OF NURSING
JAWARHARLAL NEHRU NATIONAL URBAN AND RENEWAL ENERGY MISSION.
INDIRA VIKAS PATRA
RAJIV GANDHI FOUNDATION
The list goes on….
What is left is SONIA GANDHI,RAHUL GANDHI,ROBERT VADRA and PRIYANKA GANDHI.
NOW ALL STATES IN INDIA CAN BE NAMED AFTER THEM IN ANOTHER 25 YEARS TIME.
CHAMCHAGIRI Culture is common among Congressmen. They will outdo each other in naming every thing in this country after the Nehru-Gandhi Family and imposing these artefacts on us.
Tarlemaga : There is already one “Sonia Vihar” named after Sonia Gandhi in Delhi. India was under 1000 years of colonial rule, and chamchagiri has deeply ingrained in our blood.
Tarlemaga,
Just in AP there are about 20 odd schemes(including the airport) launched in the name of ‘First Family’ (Indira, Rajiv) of India. The list well, 2 years back ….

All these in a span of just 4 year congress rule. I see 2 reasons for that
1. The very obvious Madam appeasement.
2. No one else in the party will object given internal battles of the congress.
@Tathagata,
The name of the tribal lady was “Budhni” ( as far as I remember, but I think I remember correctly)
Sick of these names bearing sonia, rajiv, indira, and very soon rahul, priya, meirei. As if India does not have illustrious people!!
Someone has rightly said to remove Rahul ‘ house from there than slum dwellers colony.!!
Security risk! What happened to Indira Gandhi? Sanjay Gandhi? Rajiv Gandhi? Were they not provided security/forewarned about the impending things? Did they care? Why should they? Motilal-Nehru-Indira- Rajiv-Rahul/Sonia- how many more generations should India recite their family members names? For the sake of one individual ….removing a slum…it is shame.
Why doesn’t Rahul move in with his mother at 10, Janpath and save the Indian exchequer the expenses of maintaining another MP’s house. He’s not even married…so, no saas-bahu issues!
