A Paradox called Rahul Gandhi ::: The prophet of declinism -- What is 'dead' is not India's economy but the ethos of the Congress party !!


As of now for Team Rahul Gandhi to outsmart the Modi-Shah duo is like walk on water !!


The phrase "walk on water" is often used to describe something that is incredibly difficult, nearly impossible, or requires a superhuman effort. 



Beneath the surface, the politics is churning.  India's economy is never dead.... in fact, far from it. If world's largest economy is 'dead' -- as per the wisdom of Rahul Gandhi and Donald Trump - then there is something seriously wrong bout the world economy itself.  


Good or bad politics; like revolutionary changes take time.

Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor and Rajiv Shukla on record pointed to the strength of the Indian economy.

Even as Rahul Gandhi happily endorsed Trump's remarks and used them to target Narendra Modi; Priyanka Chaturvedi, a key opposition voice and Shiv Sena (UBT) MP, also slammed Trump.

She went onto say that Trump's statement actually came only came "from a position of arrogance or ignorance".






The fact about Indian economy may be underlined in the following sentences. 


India still has a few option. The Indo-US trade talks are on. Notwithstanding the fact that Trump has announced the 25 per cent high tariffs; the Indian economy still remain robust.


If trade competition really does not work well with the US; New Delhi can then diversify the markets "outside of America".  


India has already inked the trade pact with the United Kingdom and is now negotiating with the EU. Things are moving at a confidence level. 


But the Congress leadership has grown frustrated. This frustration is leading Team Rahul to desperation.


Most of their scheming games have failed. Hence the new war-cry - 'Economy is dead' and 'Election Commission is biased'. A sinister plot planned with the former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar only shows the level of desperation in Congress and more so personally in Rahul Gandhi.

As an individual he is am image of failures. 

- He lost 2014 elections. The Congress party's Lok Sabha strength was reduced to 44.

-- He lost again in 2019. Trying to kickoff a defence scam (Rafale) only boomeranged.

-- In 2024, his party's tally improved but things ought to do more with BJP's internal bickering, unhappiness of RSS with the Modi-Shah duo and false claims and propaganda of all imaginative and unimaginative scales.

As a result, the pressure is building up slowly. Shashi Tharoor's episode may be is like a tip of iceberg.


The paradox, as some leaders in the Congress party are already realising that for Rahul Gandhi to succeed and to outsmart Narendra Modi; the party must move away from the track it has followed so far.

The grand old party does not have patience and hence they are unable to work on any long term plans.

The Dhankhar episode is a testimony that Rahul is preferring a short cut to success. He wants chaos and he even does not mind a personal war between Trump and Modi. he does not mind 'success' of Pakistan provided enough ground is created against Namo.

Of course in a democracy, an anti-establishment mood will always prevail. But by his blunders - often repeating them - Rahul is only helping the greater cause of Modi and the BJP as a political party.


While Rahul and his coterie are generally clueless despite the bravado displayed from time to time; Modi is working to a plan.
 

He and his confidant Amit Shah - both are hard workers and have eyes for details. They are decisive and they also know when to strike at the detractors. 
 






Final words:


In 2025, the Indian economy is projected to be the fastest-growing major economy globally, with a GDP growth rate of 6.3%. This growth is primarily driven by strong domestic consumption and public investment, even as global economic headwinds persist. 


It should be pointed out that a key part of India’s continued rise will be its ability to grow its manufacturing sector and challenge China as the leading exporter. 

India has strong consumer demand, which accounts for about 55% of the economy compared with less than 40% in China.

It has already benefited from a large, well-educated, often English-speaking middle-class. 

The Modi government's market reforms, which have included cutting corporation tax from 35% to 25% and opening up India to more foreign investment, have freed up entrepreneurs.

Rahul Gandhi is looking the other way. That's his problems.
