Rahuls fixes 15 minutes to defeat terrorism by Ramkesav on 06 May 2009

Rahul has made a stiff competition to Vadivelu, a leading comedian in Tamil cinema. May be he needs rest. This election campaign and his hectic schedule in mid summer has cost him dearly. Either he is a fool or he thinks we are all fools. Even after 30 months of court order, Afsal Guru's sentence is delayed by his party and even after so many years, Dawood is not brought into india. Empowerment of poor, he says can be done in 15 minutes. It isvery simple. By one governmental order, he can remove the word "poor" from all official statues and records. It is as simple as that. He proves again that he is only an upstart in politics. Except being son of Rajiv, he has no other credentials whatsoever. He lacks general knoledge, common sense and decency in public relationship. But for the protege he gets from his mother, he is nothing.

Not 15 minutes... he means 15 years by Deepak Yadav on 06 May 2009

My dear reader’s Rahul Gandhi by mistake said 15 minutes; actually he was saying he'll defeat terrorism in 15 years of his rule. Now please forgive him as he is weak in hindi

What does he mean by "empower"...? by Jay S on 06 May 2009

I sometimes wonder if the politicians even understand what they say. Just throwing words like "empower" and drawing simplistic conclusions makes me think that the political class will forever remain the same. The new generation is no different to the old one. All of them playing to the galleries and not one of them really want a solution.

Brilliance thy name is Rahul Gandhi! by P.H.Bhanage on 06 May 2009

Jai ho.For whom the Indians are waiting when we have such a brilliant Magician (Like "Bengali Babas" of Mumbai Suburbs who finish problems faced by people within no time)with us. What are we waiting for?let us do his coronation as quickly as possible.It is Indians like us,with negative mindset,do not recognize talent available with us.This exactly is the capability(of reecognizing talent) of persons like Abhisheks,Vylars,Veerappas,Diggi Rajas,Ambikas,Renukas,Vilasraos and scores of congis like them.There are also likes of Pranoy Roys,Barakha Bahars,Sagarikas,Rajdeeps etc.al from the media who have this uncanny ability of recognizing the extraordinary talent and mind you; they are all doing this not for their selfish interest but only in National Interest.That is the only reason they fall to their(Gandhis)feet,only for the Good of the country.Let us also bring in Priyanka because she may have the quick fix idea for removing Poverty and of course their Mama is required to bless us all.

Empower Voteing Rights and Throw Rahul in Trashcan in 15 seconds.. by Kiran on 06 May 2009

Indian citizens with your voting power in 15 seconds throw Rahul,Sonia Maino,rubber stamp MMS and the entire congress party in trashcan.

Indian feudocracy by Dr.G.Srinivasan on 06 May 2009

I had to make this remark ignoring the stupidity of Rahul. But what we have in india is a masal democracy borrowed from all the democracies and made into a biggest book with the biggest lie as the preamble"We the people" If we were made to adopt or imposed the wrong type of democracy it does not mean democracy is not sustainable.The situation we have is totally different from what we had in 1950 when the constitution was imposed by 300 so called wisemen who knew what India needed in the next hundred years!!!So they imposed the constitution on Indians. Next ironically congress party which brought in the constitution also changed it.Today the President the PM the CJI , the CEC and the CBI are all elected by AICC Chairperson making the citizens job a lot more easier. If democracy is undermined it is because of congress.With this we cannot conclude democracy as bad or unsustainable

Recipe to finish terrorism in 15 minutes by sushil verma on 06 May 2009

This man is a real genius, a genuine primeministerial material, who has the bright idea of finishing off terrorism in 15 minutes by empowering the villagers. He beats me, beats everyone by his wisdom. Dr. Manmohan Singh is no match for him. Rahul wil finish terrorism in 15 minutes, poverty in 30,and all other problems in 60. By the way, if any one knows what he meant by what he said, please let us all know.

Empower villagers and defeat terrorism in 15 minutes: Rahul by Dr Sagar on 05 May 2009

This is the guy who is dreaming of becoming the Prime Minsiter one. God save my motherland.

Terrorism by Naipal Tomar on 05 May 2009

The young fello appears to be too naive. He does not what he is talking about. Does he really know how he proposes to empower the villagers. I wonder how many villages he has been to. Those poor villagers are barely making the two end meet. What a nonsense statement IE "terrorism can be removed in 15 minuts" And he is dreaming to become the PM one day. As a matter of fact none of the Gandhis except Nehru, and Indira has it in them to become PM. Rajiv was not much of a Politician. Priministership was imposed upon him. Sanjay was cruppt and a goon. Varun is a idiot and making stupid statements. All these young fellows are being used by the old crrupt politicians.

Sonia Gandhi by Gautam Gulati on 05 May 2009

Just google do-you-know-your-sonia andthan decide whom to vote for.

Rahul a day dreamer by Dr. Ram Chander Sharma on 05 May 2009

Rahul is a day dreamer, we in Jammu and Kashmir are facing terroris for the last sixty years and there are plenty of village defense committees, army, paramillitary and state police,still innocent people are being anhilated . Recenty Mr. Rahul was in Kashmir valley and he addressed a public rally along with CM of Jammu and Kashmir Mr. Omar Abdullha and he didn't put forwarded this formula. It seems he is being utilized by a powerful group of sychophants in congress party for their personal interests and this Gandhi shall be sidelined soon after May 16 when Congress may not be able to form a collition. It is better for Madam Sonia Gandhi to tread carefully in the corridores of Congress party as many old timers are annoyed over the projection of Mr. Rahul as a possible second line candidate of the post of Prime Minister in future. Mr. Gandhi utterances are damaging the Congress Party as well as his political carrier. Dr. Ram Chander Sharma siot Jammu

What does it mean???? by Milind on 05 May 2009

What the hell is that supposed to mean?I seriously fail to find any logic. Yeh baukhla gaya hai. I think Indian citizens should first of all demand a 'sanity test' on Rahul Gandhi. I honestly feel he is a dyslexic kid taken the wrong path by Antonia Maino. He needs some rehabilitation. Urgently!!!

Secular Party and noble leaders. by Another Indian on 05 May 2009

I believe that democracy is not sustainable model for countries like India where votes are casted in the name of religion or for small personal advancement. Short term benefits thus obtained has given us ugly terrorism, corruption, nepotism, large reservation and low acceptance of other person’s beliefs.We all want better India, so let us try to be respectful toward each other, and let us learn to agree to disagree in polite manner. Let us not say those words which do not carry our relationship forward.Which party is more secular? May be it is Congress, although some of its member were burning Sikhs back in 1982. Can it be BJP; but they demolished Babri Masjid. Which one is next? All have some bad history. Let us choose that party which can bring sense of Indian identity (Indian identity is not religion biased), better rural education, justice system which delivers quick justice, better infrastructure, brings up the living standard of millions of Indian who live with may be one

End of terrorism in 15 minutes by Varinder on 05 May 2009

It appears that Rahul Gandhi still believes that there is a Lamp of Allahdin". He should get this idea patented before some other politicians grab this. Jai Ho.

Empower of Villages by Varinder on 05 May 2009

Why great Rahul Gandhi was keeping such a wonderful idea close to the chest for 5 years? Does he mean empowering villagers with N-Power which will make them to fight terrorists> First think of replacing 303 rifles and then talk some sense.

Joke on Terror Victims by Kumar on 05 May 2009

Is he craze to say such a thing?? Over simplification by the so called young gen next leader??

Irresponsible and shallow by Lakshmi on 05 May 2009

And this man is the rising next generation hopeof India. I hope the voters, young ones in particular, can see that to utter such nonsense with seriousness, Rahul must be devoid of not only intelligence but also touch with reality and sorrow for the failure to protect innocent civilians.

This man has got out of his mind...! by Indian on 05 May 2009

This joker has gone out of his mind.. One thing, he is talking against his own party.. Everyone knows that this country can defeat terrorism.. the people have to just vote out Congress and then this country can definitely defeat terrorism... the whole problem is only because his mother Sonia and his party along with Lalu, communists and DMK are supporting terrorists for muslim votes...Secondly, what joke is it to say that we empower villagers and then we can relax.. and terrorism will be defeated in 15 minutes? After hearing this, all psychiatrists will agree that Rahul is an emergency case for a mental hospital..
