Rahul can’t take on Modi in the communal age

DEBATE(1)
This is neither the ‘Kalyug’ nor ‘digital’ age. This is a ‘communal’ age. The influence of communal age will work in politics. The voters of this country have been communally poisoned and votes are cast on a polarization basis. Therefore, Congress and other parties will lag behind BJP and pave the way for the latter to retain power. Rahul cannot take on Modi in politics in this age.

DEBATE(1)
Rahul Gandhi is no match to Narendra Modi today and is not likely to be in near future as well. Big question is - whether Narendra Modi is going to contest in 2024 or not considering that he will be 74 by that time and that means he will be only one year away from joining the club of 'Margdarshak". Up till now, Narendra Modi has not considered anybody for ministry who has crossed 75 and it is very unlikely that he will break this record. Nevertheless, whosoever BJP chose to field, the contest will be between some regional parties Vs BJP. Congress with Sonia or Rahul at the helm stands no chance.

If not empanelled, means dead wood
When an officer belonging to All India Service is not found fit to be empanelled in the list for the post of secretary or equivalent in the Central Government, he or she should be considered dead wood and be given compulsory retirement. Rejection at this level means an inefficient officer.

With ED summons, Rahul Gandhi will not be able to be aggressive. Modi seems confident.

Rahul Gandhi is in no hurry to become PM
Rahul Gandhi is much younger than Narendra Modi. I am of the view that Rahul Gandhi is not in a hurry to become PM and lead the country. The present political wave in favour of Modi will die down one day and pave the way for Rahul Gandhi.

Mention IFoS officers instead of IFS
It is my suggestion that an officer belongs to Indian Forest Service, you may please mention IFoS, instead of IFS. The full form of IFS is Indian Foreign Service.

The next General election will be between BJP and regional parties. Congress will be lucky to cross double-digit figures in the Lok Sabha poll.

DEBATE(2)
Congress can regain power only if they get rid of Rahul Gandhi. Modi is Raja Bhoj and Rahul is Gangu Teli.

DEBATE(1)
Somebody had opined that Rahul Gandhi has guts but the media has made him Pappu. I am of the opinion that nobody can make you Pappu. A person with a caliber cannot be suppressed for long. Moreover, insulting India on the world forum and speaking lies does not mean that he has guts. People of India are very smart and are watching him and every time he himself proves that he is a Pappu.

DEBATE (2)
Rahul stands nowhere and has no chance of winning against stalwart Narendra Modi who is now a world leader.

Congratulations to the whispers team on the completion of 21 years
Congratulations to the whispers in the corridors team for 21 glorious years of unparalleled success and unique journey. As whispers in the corridors turns 21, it is really an adult case regarding the RTI. It is time to formulate new norms for human beings, not merely restricted to gender. Harassment can happen both ways and should not be looked in terms of one gender alone. The Ministry of health, the Indian Medical Association and the regulatory authorities should look into the matter and devise new norms.
