Ek din ka Badshah!

Mughal emperor Humayun made one commoner a king for a day (Ek din ka Badshah) for saving him from drowning. Rahul Gandhi does have a dream and ambition to occupy the Prime Minister's chair but fortunately for us he has failed. This has cost the century-year-old party dearly as he keeps on jibing some baseless allegations over his rivals only to get brickbats from the public. His baseless tirade against Narendra Modi in last parliamentary polls did massive damage to his party, but still he is unable to understand his shortcomings. Many competent and able young leaders have said goodbye to the Congress. I wonder if by any means Rahul Gandhi can be made Prime Minister for a day or Ek din ka Badshah so that his dream is fulfilled and he be given a farewell from politics. To have a balance in the democracy, a strong and capable opposition is a must. But then can we expect a strong Congress with a person like Rahul Gandhi leading it?
