It is not an accident. Whether it is Elangovan or Aiyar, they resort to derogatory slurs. The idea of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty that is so central to the very existence of the Congress is one that considers birth-based ability to lead to be axiomatic. And this is justified in the collective psyche of its rank and file. The presumed superiority of the white/fair skin rules their subconscious. Note that Elangovan was not simply saying that Rajiv was fair and red and, hence, beautiful. He was actually quoting the previous speaker Thirunavukarasu, a known party-hopper and now a leader in Tamil Nadu Congress.
