Rahul Gandhi's family or party have made the systems of post independent India, how can he blame it?

Editors note: This is a reader comment we got on the article, “Why Rahul may be happier walking off into the sunset” published earlier today. Vijay has written a thought provoking comment on it. As is Firstpost policy, we have lightly edited for grammar and spelling, but the comment has been left as is.

1. Rahul Gandhi: His family (Nehru, Indhira and Rajiv) ruled the country 38 out of the last 67 years. That is 56% of the time. His own party has ruled the country 55 out of the 67 years. That is 82%. His mother was the de facto head of the government for the past 10 years. And this guy says, the system is not working and must be changed. Would you believe it? To say that this is hypocrisy must be the understatement of this century.

2. The government of the day while going into the elections must garner votes from the country by saying what it has achieved rather than what it will do. That is left to the opposition. The fact of the matter is UPA has failed miserably and Rahul/Congress cannot escape this fact.

3. Where was Rahul when some of the biggest corruption charges came to light during his party regime?Now when the elections are near, making token statements are amounting to fooling the people of this country. Who can blame the country if they simply read this as election posturing and plain dishonesty?
