Prince Rahul has an eczema of frustration that is making him scratch his skin and tear his hair. His Lieutenants in South Block compromised national economy, national security and national civility, raking up billions for themselves and soaking up the nation in distress. When the election time came, many of his lieutenants went on 'sick leave' and excused themselves from contesting. His manifesto makers found no basis on which the future promises could stand. His campaign managers and speech writers lost all imagination and lacked any talent to give the Prince some worthy ideas to speak on. At a time like this, he bumped on a very personal but insignificant truth of Mr Modi's marital status and has jumped to the roof with excitement.
Who had ever denied that Mr Modi was married? His marriage as a teenager forced a togetherness only for a week or more and was never consummated. It was an arrangement his parents made and he left it in pursuit of his mind's call, never to return to its fold. He neither lied to anyone nor did he betray anyone. He just pursued a larger social purpose, unlike hopping into boats of opportunity like the Prince. Whereas the Prince lived a lurid life of Italian innamorato, hopping from girlfriend to girlfriend, hidden from the public eye.
But is this an election issue of larger national interest that he should latch on to? What does the Prince promise the people of India with his newfound excitement? By his pervert argument that his opponent is married, is he addressing the problems facing the nation and its people? Along with corruption, has he now also adopted perversion?
Well, the Prince is covered in frustration eczema and is scratching all his political rashes.
