Rahul campaigned vigorously through out the country with as much vigor as his mother. Rahul targeted the younger voters and succeeded remarkably in reversing the trend for the party in India's most populous state of UP. He could sell himself as a change agent to many a young voter and spoke about burning issues. although I do not carry conviction with his eulogy of Indo US deal ( His speech about Kalavathis of Maharashtra suffering from lack of power supply is dumb squib) he sold the idea of being a progressive leader much like his late father and this appealed to the masses. He was singularly responsible for establishing a connect between the poor masses and his party with his down to earth simplicity. 

Rahul has the necessary credentials to be a mass leader. I was impressed by his maiden speech in parliament : Bade Ho kar Kaun Banege: he had posed this question to many youth of this country for which they had no answers., I always believed that a man of his conviction could be assingned the independent charge of Education portfolio preferably outside the cabinet for his presense in Cabinet now will create a parallel centre of power. 

Well JRD Tata is reported to have said : Now I could die peacefully because india is safe in the hands of Rajiv: well  I do not have the stature of JRD Tata but I feel very much the same way now as Rahul as accredited himself. the greatest service that this man has done is to have called the bluff of all pretenders like Jayalalitha , Pawar etc 

Let this be a good begining
