Indira Wasn't Madame Tussauds Statue: Pranab Mukherjee On Gandhi Family | Read

Rahul Gandhi's promotion to president of the Congress should not be judged by outsiders as a travesty of democracy, Pranab Mukherjee told NDTV today, describing the 47-year-old No 2 in his party as "a young man" with the ability "to respond to change, to adapt, to adjust." That is a crucial trait, he said, citing Mr Gandhi's grandmother Indira and father Rajiv, both former prime ministers, to illustrate his point. "A leader is not made, Indira Gandhi was not readily made by anybody like a Madame Tussauds wax statue... circumstances threw her leadership, similarly circumstances threw leadership of Rajiv Gandhi," said Mr Mukherjee, whose term as President of India expired in July.
