Corrupt Mrs Gandhi!!!

Does Sonia Gandhi collect money from her Ministers, including CM's?

It is pure and simple, corruption.The corruptive practices percolate downwards. What Sonia Gandhi has been doing was never done by Mrs. Indira Gandhi directly in Congress Party. In the Congress party it was first L.N.Mishra, who got bombed and bumped off. Then it was Antulay of Maharashtra. He was discarded. During Rajiv Gandhi time Rajiv started collecting directly for which Bofour like scams tainted his name. Now, shamelessly Sonia does because with money power alone, one runs the party in India. Narasimha Rao failed to accumulate fund in the name of the Party. Sharad Pawar has more than 8000 Crores by which he is running the NCP. Naveen Patnaik has collected not less than 5000 crores in Orissa by which he is commanding the BJD. Chandrababu Naidu has more than 5000 Crores and mostly in Singapore Banks that supplies life blood to the TDP in Andhra Pardesh.BJP must similarly have a fund to run the party. But when its one time national President Bangaru Laxman was caught red handed in a sting operation. Since then, I think the BJP has become cautious to streamline the Party fund so that no one can finger at it. So, what Sonia has been doing is little uncouth and direct. She has risked to do it directly by keeping personal contacts with the party collectors like Reddy who recently died.

Sonia Gandhi, the Congress President is understood to have collected huge amount through Y Rajasekhar Reddy, the recently killed CM of Andhra Pradesh. Some of the central ministers are also in regular practice of paying huge amount to Sonia Gandhi, without which one can not hope to continue as a Minister.

Rahul Gandhi born on 19th June 1970 is an Indian politician and member of the Parliament of India, representing the Amethi constituency.His political party is the Indian National Congress.He belongs to the Nehru-Gandhi family, the most prominent political family in India.

He is the elder brother of Priyanka Gandhi. His grandmother was Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. His Maternal great-grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru, was the first Prime Minister of India, and his maternal great-great-grandfather Motilal Nehru was a distinguished leader of the Indian independence movement.

Corporate career

Rahul Gandhi, after graduating worked with management guru, Michael Porter's Management consulting firm, Monitor Group. for three years. His colleagues at the firm had no idea who they were working with— as he was using an assumed name. He returned to India in late 2002 to run an engineering and technology outsourcing firm in Mumbai.

Political career

In 2003, there was widespread media speculation about Rahul Gandhi's imminent entry into national politics, which he did not confirm.He appeared with his mother at public events and Congress meetings.He also traveled to Pakistan on a goodwill visit to watch the first cricket series between the countries in 14 years in a One Day International with his sister Priyanka Gandhi.

Speculation heightened in January 2004 about his and his sister's possible entry into politics when they visited their father's former constituency of Amethi, which their mother held at the time. He refused to give a definitive response, stating "I am not averse to politics. I have not decided when I will enter politics and indeed, if I ever will."

In March 2004, he announced his entry into politics by announcing that he would contest the May 2004 elections, standing for his father's former constituency of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh in the Lok Sabha, India's lower house of Parliament.Before that, his uncle Sanjay held the seat before a plane crash. The seat had been held by his mother until she transferred to the neighbouring seat of Rae Bareilly. The Congress had been doing poorly in Uttar Pradesh, holding only 10 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state at the time. At the time, this move generated surprise among political commentators, who had regarded his sister Priyanka as being the more charismatic and likely to succeed. Party officials did not have a curriculum vitae ready for the media, such was the surprise of his move. It generated speculation that the presence of a young member of India's most famous political family would reinvigorate the Congress party's political fortunes among India's youthful population.In his first interview with foreign media, he portrayed himself as a uniter of the country and condemned "divisive" politics in India, saying that he would try to reduce caste and religious tensions.His candidacy was greeted with excitement by locals, who had a long standing affinity with the family's presence in the area.Politician of Indian National Congress He won with a landslide majority, retaining the family stronghold with a margin of over 100,000 as the Congress unexpectedly defeated the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.His campaign was directed by his younger sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.[citation needed] Till 2006 he held no other office and concentrated mainly on constituency issues and the politics of Uttar Pradesh, and it was widely speculated in the Indian and international press that Sonia Gandhi is trying to groom him for a chance to become a national-level Congress leader in the future.

In January 2006, at a convention of the Indian National Congress in Hyderabad, thousands of party members asked for Gandhi to take a more prominent leadership role in the party and demanded that he address the delegates. He said "I appreciate and I am grateful for your feelings and support. I assure you I will not let you down", but asked for patience and declined to immediately seek a higher profile role.

Gandhi and his sister (married to Robert Vadra) managed their mother's campaign for reelection to Rae Bareilly in 2006, which was won easily with a margin greater than 400,000 votes.

He was a prominent figure in a high profile Congress campaign for the 2007 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections; Congress, however, won only 22 seats with 8.53% of votes. The election saw the Bahujan Samaj Party, which represents low caste Indians, to become the first party to govern in its own right in Uttar Pradesh for 16 years.

Rahul Gandhi was appointed a general secretary of the All India Congress Committee on 24 September 2007 in a reshuffle of the party secretariat.In the same reshuffle, he was also given charge of the Youth Congress and the National Students Union of India.

In his attempt to prove himself as a youth leader in November 2008 he held interviews at his 12, Tughlak Lane residence in New Delhi to handpick at least 40 people who will make up the think-tank of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC), an organisation that he has been keen to transform since he was appointed general secretary in September 2007.

Rahul Gandhi participated in an interactive session with students of Jawaharlal Nehru University, India. The Universtity student unions have been traditionally dominated by the Left. His party, INC, however, was quick to play up Rahul's visit to JNU as an “excellent example of youth participation in politics”. Rahul's grandmother, Indira Gandhi had to face huge opposition from Left student unions during her visit to the university campus in 1982 because of her decision to impose emergency.Rahul was quizzed by the students on issues ranging from hiearchial politics in India, to his visits to Dalit Houses, economic growth in the country and education reforms. Some papers, however, reported Rahul's visit to JNU as a political attempt to strengthen the newly constituted unit of NSUI at JNU.

Rahul Gandhi girlfriend is Spanish!!!

Rahul Gandhi may have just got himself a new job. The fifth-generation heir of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty is all set to become a parliamentarian from Amethi and the excitement and anxiety is palpable.

Campaigning is over, the day of reckoning has come. However, Rahul would like the world to believe he is only serving his dharma. "I don’t care if I win or lose this election," he says, sitting in his garden, as rain clouds gather over Amethi.

"I am here as a sensible, responsible Indian, because I want to help people get on track, from being distracted by dangerous issues like religious and caste hatred."

Isha Sharvani, the actress who grew up dancing and still continues to do so, was linked with cricketer Zaheer Khan and their romance seemed to die a natural death.

Her performance in Luck By Chance as Dimple Kapadia’s daugher who seduces Farhan Akhtar was well received. But that’s not what people are talking about.

Actresses dating cricketers is old news. But actresses going out with one of the most charismatic and eligible Congressman who goes by the name Rahul Gandhi!!?? That’s taking it up a notch.

Rahul was earlier going out with a Veronique, a Spanish woman, who disappeared from the scene as his political career started shaping up.

Isha & Rahul, seem to be turning up separately for the same parties and enjoying each other’s company. So until they turn up together we’ll have to be satisfied with Isha taking the ‘no comments’ stance.
