Swapan Dasgupta in TOI
The stand alone campaign of the Congress is centred on Rahul Gandhi who, the hoardings say, will bring about the seamless transition from a glorious present to a spectacular future.
This is what makes the Congress campaign an optical illusion. The proclaimed candidate for PM is, as Punjabis say, a good man di lalten but the person being projected is Rahul.
The question naturally arises: is Singh the mukhauta who will quietly step aside for the real prime ministerial candidate after the election is won? Or is he just a night-watchman?
Of course you all know the answer. Get back in the queue. Wait for the one and only one - the difference being this one will keep you in the matrix.

Classic Cong strategy... if they win "Family" gets the credit... if they lose, it's the organisation that failed!!!
