Why is Priyanka Gandhi Liked More than Rahul Gandhi?

Bangalore: Priyanka Gandhi may not be involved in full fledged politics but it turns out that she is liked more than Rahul Gandhi, her brother and the General Secretary of Congress. She is admired by the people and they believe that she has all it takes to be a leader. The reasons why Priyanka is more liked than Rahul are:



Replica of Indira Gandhi:



Priyanka bears a striking resemblance to her grandmother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The people in Rae Bareli and Amethi, including Congress members, may be fond of Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul but feel it is Priyanka who has the determination and charisma of her late grandmother Indira Gandhi and believe she is more capable of bringing about a sea change in the country’s politics.



"We like Priyanka Gandhi more than Rahul. When she gets down from her car and walks towards the people, you feel Indira Gandhi-- in her 'Ma Durga' avatar - is standing in front of you,” said Ghanshyam Pathak to PTI. "She is the real inheritor of her grandmother and her father Rajiv Gandhi's legacy. She should definitely enter politics,” feels Pathak, a local shopkeeper who has been associated with the Congress for decades. Though the voters of the two ‘VIP constituencies’ are loyal supporters of the first family of Congress, they feel Priyanka is the most charming and able in the Nehru-Gandhi clan today.

1: Both are empty vessels. As for who is liked more between HE and SHE is a media floated discussion to provide coverage to HE and SHE. If "He" is failed, "She" can be excused as the "She" entered late. It is after all a game and joint venture of paid media and Nehruvian Congress to raise irrelevant, bogus and fake issues to divert the attention of public from the very significant issues of Nehruvians fraud, scams, scandals and blunders. After all the red-black money stored in foreign banks has to be best utilized to promote self interest by them.

All three empty vessels: Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka went down the drain in UP. They could not win the seats at Amethi and Rae bareli for the party. The media will continue with the gimmicks.

You are calling every body as a scamster without a single proof.
Mahatma Gandhi was against using non-violence for freedom struggle and when bhagat singh was killed he did not oppose the british so are you going to call Our father of the nation as a traitor.! If you don't like a person don't like him/her but don't attack them without any evidence.

It is a democracy and any politician or non-politician who campaigns for others can be criticized.

A less known fact about Mahatma Gandhi was he did a mistake which he later admitted himself. He let Nehru takeover the seat while asking Sardar Patel to drop his contest which he could have won very easily. It was Nehru who threatened Gandhiji that he will divide congress into 2 parts if he didn't get the PM position after independence and party power. To this Gandhiji had no other way but to ask Sardar Patel to give up cuz if Congress would have divided then- We could never had any independence laid on us.
There were mistakes done by everyone but to talk about Mahatma Gandhi on this stage when Nehru-Gandhi are on discussion is not to the mark. The history of Nehru Gandhi family is one main reason why most of the system is still suffering. Thing about it first- Why Priyanka Vadra is still using Gandhi as her surname? Why Sonia is not using Maino then.
Why she had to bring her kids to the front for the contest?
They want to take the power and keep it for all the upcoming 7 generations of their family.
About M.Gandhi and execution of Bhagat Singh- M.Gandhi tried his best to stop the execution but he wasn't god as well. He did his share of mistakes. Bhagat Singh was all ready to sacrifice his life. You can say both knew this day will come. He did oppose British to cancel the execution but it was heavy on their side cuz Bhagat Singh had become a national hero and he already scared Britishers to death like other fighters who came in different eras. Mangal Pandey, Veer Surendra Sai, Tipu Sultan etc.

Please do not add tippu to the list of freedom fighters. He is a dreaded moslem, who took interest in creating a moslem state in India. He was responsible of mass conversions in and around bhatkal, kannur to kozhikode and parts of tamilnadu. He killed hindus, who did not agree to convert. My ancestors suffered in the hands of tippu the tyrant. There are ample proof available against tippus dirty tricks, in and around siddapura, muttagi, bilgi etc. he had two faces, one as a tolerant antibritish fighter and the other one as a tyrant. he made the life hell for those who stayed away from capital mysore.

Before calling Rahul Gandhi an empty vessel

to hear the noise in your head.

10: I would vote for Priyanka rather than Rahul not just bcoz she resembles my favourite politician but for her manners and listening to people and not just talk on air. With passage of time she could come out more polished than any of theother Gandhi scion

If priyanka is not there in politics then why are you talking in air. Rahul is good person enough to be a supported

12: Priyanka always has that God given gab to talk straight and she talks to anybody and everybody. Next she is a pretty face and charming to look at which can give many bollywood actresses a run for their money. People are sick of watching the old, fat and idiotic leaders like Shushma Swaraj, Jayalalitha, Mayawati, etc. She comes out once in 5 years and performs brillantly with her impromtu knowledge.

13: if there were to be a fair investigation, priyanka gandhi husband would easily be convicted of wholescale corruption which has helped him accumulate billions.

Well this is the problem with indian people. when we have a good person in Rahul Gandhi they are hell bent upon bringing priyanka into politics. We have seen how much hard work Rahul is doing in UP but still people only look at priyanka. Common guys give rahul a chance and i'm sure he will do it. We have got many leaders but no one is supporting youngsters except for Rahul gandhi. Once he comes in then you will get to see Good young leaders

In India it is said if you are not wise donot speak much it will expose you. Same is the case with Rahul Gandhi with his recent remarks and the way he wants to win in UP has shown his cheap intelligence, he was born with a golden spoon and if he would have shown a little capability as leader like Rajiv or Indira he may have done wonders. But it seems Baba has lost his way and needs to be shred away.

Don't call straight forwardness of rahul Gandhi as cheap
intelligence. In UP if there was no caste based politics then he would have won it easily.
