The importance of familyism in Indian politics is not hidden from anyone. The country’s largest party, the Congress, has been run by a single family for the last five decades. All regional parties in the country are run by different families, like limited liability companies. As far as the BJP is concerned, it seems that now this party too is going to break its promise to end nepotism. Not only in Haryana but also in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, this party has distributed many tickets to family members. In fact, the public has a lot of trust in princes. Perhaps thinking this, a new prince is going to enter Congress.
This time, on the day of Diwali, the most talked about video was posted by Congress’ senior leader Rahul Gandhi on X. In the video, along with maternal uncle Rahul, his nephew and son of Priyanka Gandhi, Rehan Rajiv Vadra. Rehan Vadra has appeared in public programs many times before. But this time Rehan was seen in the style of a leader, so the discussion became heated whether the party was going to launch him. Rahul not only took them to the workers, but also took them to the people who work in pottery. In this video, Rahul tries to show that he and his nephew understand the work of painters. In reality, the entry of princes into politics has been taking place like this. Therefore, people who oppose the Congress also got a chance to speak. Rehan is 24 years old. This means that they will be constitutionally eligible to participate in the elections.
Little by little the curtain is being removed to bring Rehaan to the front of the world.
Whenever a prince from a royal family has to enter politics, the image creation team starts working well in advance. For example, his maternal uncle introduced Rehan to the country’s workers who paint on the occasion of Diwali. Obviously, this is an attempt to show that the boy certainly comes from a royal family, but that he respects poor and working people. The image makers also tried hard to give Rehan’s mother Indira’s look. With a hairstyle like Indira Gandhi, a speech like Indira, an outfit like Indira, etc., she was also presented before the public time and again. However, there was a lot of confusion in the Gandhi family from the beginning regarding Priyanka’s entry into electoral politics.
Due to this, Priyanka had to wait for a long time to contest the Lok Sabha elections. But his son Rehaan’s age is not yet 24 years old. Obviously, the way they are taking it to public events, it looks like it will be released very soon. Priyanka probably doesn’t want her son to have to wait like she does. Therefore, he occasionally takes his son Rehaan to election rallies and road shows. On the day of the Lok Sabha election results, Rehan was also seen at the party headquarters with his family. He has also spoken to the media and has taken Rehan to Bharat Jodo Yatra and also many political programmes.
The fifth generation can eliminate the hopelessness of the fourth generation.
In India there is a belief that if one generation of a family fails, the next generation will plant its flag again. The Gandhi family may be trying this trick. The fourth generation of the Gandhi family could not do anything for the party. That is to say, the party has declined during the era of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. Priyanka was never allowed to work freely. But Rahul Gandhi became the reason for the party’s defeat in many consecutive elections. Had the Congress Party not been run by the Gandhi family as a private limited company, Rahul Gandhi would have been sidelined from the party long ago. On the other hand, it can be seen that for the third consecutive time, voices have begun to be raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for obtaining fewer seats than the absolute majority of the Bharatiya Janata Party. But Rahul Gandhi will continue to lose in the Congress for many decades. He will not be removed until a new person in the family takes over. Perhaps this is the reason why Rehan Vadra is being prepared as soon as possible.
Will Rehan contest Amethi elections?
In the country’s next general elections, Rehan Vadra will be around 28 years old. By then he will be the perfect age to participate in the elections. The Gandhi family can force him to participate in the elections at any time and from anywhere. But the party will try to get him to compete from traditional seats like Amethi or Rae Bareli. Rahul Gandhi is now unlikely to leave the Rae Bareli post. In such a situation, it can be expected that when the Lok Sabha elections are held in 2029, Rehan will be seen contesting as a Congress candidate from Amethi. But now the question is whether it will be in Congress’s interest to field Rehan. So the answer is that no matter what the Congress does, it will not get the Gandhi family free.
Since Vadra is the title, BJP will definitely make fun of him. Questions will also be raised about Vader’s religion. But the public considers the Gandhi family apart from all these things. When Priyanka didn’t have any problem with this, then it is obvious that all these things are not going to have any effect on Rehaan.
