Rahul Gandhi's new role: UPA's Obama moment?
It was an emotionally charged speech from Rahul Gandhi today, a day after taking over a new role of Vice President of the Congress party. Striking personal notes throughput his 40 minute speech, he said his mother cried when she met him last night after his elevation because she knows power is poison. Talking about the need to prepare 40-50 leaders to become prime minister, adding that one big problem is power being centralised in India with no access to all, Rahul also recalled how he played badminton with the very guards who went onto kill his grandmother, a tragedy where he says he saw his father cry for the first time.
