Just Like Steve Jobs: Rahul Gandhi’s Advice to Congress

Mangalore Today News Network

Mathura, Sep 21, 2015:  Steve Jobs’ resurrection of Apple’s fortunes was the example cited by Rahul Gandhi as he asked his party workers to rebuild the Congress in Uttar Pradesh, which votes in two years for its next government. 

Mr Gandhi visited a temple  before his speech in Mathura, roughly 120-minutes drive from Delhi.  Mr Jobs, the founder of Apple, was the focus of a large part of his short address, with the Congress Vice President acknowledging that his party has been sidelined to the fringes of India’s most populous state, though he professed, "Our ideology will make us win and turn us into No 1."

He then asked Congressmen to "attack Prime Minister Modi...but remember, he is best at attacking himself".  This, Mr Gandhi alleged, is evidenced by the PM’s failed attempts at delivering basic promises- the 15 lakhs he pledged to deposit in every citizen’s bank account by recovering black money or untaxed money stashed in foreign accounts, and the land reforms that he was forced to withdraw after the Congress successfully portrayed them as "anti-farmer".

Mr Gandhi , who coined the phrase "suit-boot ki sarkaar"  (government for corporates), added another slogan to his party’s lexicon at a rally in Delhi yesterday, declaring that the PM, who pledges "Make in India" to invite manufacturing, is actually a practitioner of  "take in India" where his government deprives the poor of basic rights.
