It is birth anniversary of the original #RaGa. #RajivGandhi was born on 20th August. I am inspired to write this after looking at Congress relaunching Rahul in Rajiv mood with a new wig and new set of artificial dentures.

Rajiv wasn't just original RaGa. He was the original Pappu too. What Rahul is doing today for the BJP, Rajiv began that process in 1985. He laid the foundation stone for the phenomenal growth of #BJP from two seats to 330 plus.

The trinity of Father, son and Holy Ghost; RaGa, RaGa and #SoGa have practically handed BJP over to India and India over to BJP.

With #ShahBano, #Ayodhya, #IPKF and #Bofors, Rajiv was the Haley's in Blunderland.

Like a comet, he struck the #Congress with vengeance, cutting it into less than half between 1984 and 1989. SoGa's greatest contribution was her single minded pursuit of #Modi. If she'd not attacked him with all her barking dogs in the media and cultural fields...

Modi probably wouldn't have gone beyond Gandhinagar. The Chinese Gandhi Pariwar catapulted Modi to Delhi.

No need to talk much about RaGa junior. He's work in progress. He has miles to go before he can sleep, after planting the RIP sign over the grave of Congress.

But he's done perfectly fine so far. Like father, like son. @INCIndia hasn't reached anywhere near majority after 1984. Thank the father, the son and the Holy Ghost

Happy RaGa birth anniversary to @BJP4India !
