Rahul Gandhi’s vanishing act in Orissa

Well we now know why the heir apparent’s parliamentary performance to date has been lack luster. He apparently is not very comfortable making extempore remarks in a debate preferring the rather safer option of reading from prepared text. Be that as it may Rahul Gandhi’s Discover India tour to Orissa has raked up another controversy over his alleged vanishing act from the guesthouse in Koraput to a Naxal village near a jungle.

While the BJD is hopping mad that it jeopardized security Rahul Gandhi had this to say

?It?s my job to listen to the voice of the people I represent. So I am not going to get deterred by the SPG, police or anybody else,?

Which leads one to wonder what exactly is the threat to Rahul that he needs SPG? cover ?

Offstumped poser to Rahul Gandhi: Its time to walk the talk Rahul. Stop making hollow statements of not being deterred by security personnel. Show some respect to those brave men and women who will not think twice about taking a bullet for you. If you really want to reach out to the people why dont you voluntarily reject SPG protection and send out a message to the the Maoists. the Jihadists and the Tamil Terrorists that you are not going to be deterred by them.

    Very simple.
    You can not ‘voluntarily reject’ SPG protection or ‘voluntarily accept’ it.

    Well actually it is very simple SPG security is given to Heads of State or their immediate family members or of people of any constitutional consequence. Except for his surname Rahul baba is of no consequence to either the nation or its people.

  3. Yossarian, u have missed some thing. Pioneer reported that it was all ’stage managed’. They published some reports aswell.

    Now some basic things,(mean SPG, (under Central Govt.- I suppose so) and some ‘always friendly NGOs’ had planned it in detail). Now how come the SPG had ‘vetted’ the area much in advance before the ’supposed slip’ by Rahul? How come the students were well prepared to have a date with ‘the Crowned Prince’? DO not kid me. Period. Sonia with all her faults, can not be insensitive about her only ’son’.

    An event management company (Dilip Cherain owned…not sure but confident) and SPG were being instructed by the ‘Central leadership’ about the ‘alleged’ act of ‘bravery’ by the ‘Prince’ with ‘foot in mouth ‘ disease.

    I trust you Yosasarin to ‘dig this out’.
    PI.

    I actually suspected. I don’t think Rahul would do anything without his handlers in a village that has Naxalites. His Mummy would put him in a corner….Media will report faithfully…
