This is not blind faith. This is based on my observations of Rahul during the last 7 years. No one is perfect. We are all amalgams of good & not so good, effective & not so effective, and so on.
Rahul has been consistent, brave, sharp on developing problems and
most of all...1/n

..sensitive to the poor (we have >50%). He words are usually plain and straightforward shorn of political hypocrisy or double speak.
Most people will feel outraged if a person is denied his due simply because he is a dalit. Right?
But some vested forces constantly point out..2/n

...that Rahul is a Gandhi & therefore he should be denied his due. Dynasty blah! Uh? What kind of discrimination is this? Ppl must talk about attributes not lineage!
When idiots were mocking Amartya Sen & other economists after unleashing the stupid demonetisation, it was.. 3/n

... Rahul & few others who denounced the move. He was unfazed by the criticism! We are still reaping the ill effects of demonetisation. They called him Pappu and all kinds of insults. He persevered!
The guys on the other side cant even face a single press conference, they.. 4/n

.. need pliable journos, actor who'll shine his light while asking abt mangoes. You'll begin to wonder if u're in tinsel town or in politics!
In comparison, Rahul is a brave-heart with a sensible head on his shoulders. Its precisely why they desperately need to run him down! 5/n

Those who called Rahul Pappu jointly ran the economy into the ground with demonetisation, a poorly designed hurriedly implemented GST & inattention to banking sector. The GDP growth has been consistently going down for two years. The latest qtr is 4.5%. They now take.. 6/n

.. consolation about the fact that it is ONLY a slowdown and not a recession. Wow! They speak abt a Rs 5 trillion economy.
Rahul pointed out repeatedly to the dire consequences of ignoring the developing job crisis! Later, his prophetic words are proved correct! But what.. 7/n

.. did they do? Instd of fixing the problem, they suppressed the unemployment data. It was somehow leaked showng unemployment at 45 year high! This info was later released after the Gen Elections in May 2019.
Even now after the problem has exploded in their faces, Ministers. 8/n

...are blaming OLA, UBER and millenials.
Rahul pointed out to Rafale. Several circumstances which pointed to a probable malfeasance. In the normal course this would have ended in an investigatn. But no! Many of these facts were also set out in N Ram's articles in The Hindu.. 9/n

To kick start the economy, Rahul spoke about a scheme called NYAY which could alleviate the situation. If this was done in time, at least a part of the crisis we face today could have been averted. This NYAY wld have partly solved the demand problem. Did they listen? No way! 10/n

.. of course no one heeded his advice. They criticised it & made fun of him. Then the author of the idea won the Nobel Prize.
Evry point Rahul made rings true! Evry criticism of those ideas proved wrong, they continue to pretend to be geniuses! MY CHOICE OBVIOUSLY IS RAHUL! n/n
