THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Muslim League mouthpiece Chandrika has come down heavily on Congress vice-president for the UPA’s poll drubbing.
In its editorial, the League says that Rahul’s one-man show during the campaign had a negative impact on the Congress. Among his coterie of youth leaders that accompanied him, he trusted only a few.
Though Rahul made an attempt to sense the pulse of India, he should have known that to touch India’s soul, just making India-wide trips would not suffice.
Rahul for some reason had shifted the 2009 campaign office at Gurdwara Rakabganj Road to his house at Tughlaq lane. There, even grey-haired leaders with years of experience in scheming things during election campaigns had to stay outside his house. Jayaram Ramesh, who had spun slogans for the 2004-2009 campaigns, was also kept out of the loop.
The editorial further says: Rahul brigade failed to learn from failures the party faced in several states. When Rahul, who has not got even a day’s experience in any ministry or its departments, was pitted against a much-experienced Modi, the latter could easily use high-tech tactics to trump the former. The Congress even failed to flaunt an impressive slogan this time, during its campaign.
