    BJP questions credibility of Rahul Gandhi's campaign in poll-bound UP

    New Delhi, Jan 3 (ANI): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday questioned the credibility of the campaign undertaken by Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.

    "The initiatives taken by Rahul Gandhi to empower entire Uttar Pradesh and bring development to the state, we would like to question him about the deal cracked by his party over the killing of innocent people and which direction do they want to take the state of Uttar Pradesh in order to save the prestige of their ruling party," said BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.

    It may be recalled here that Rahul Gandhi, who is leaving no stones unturned in garnering support for the Congress, has hit out at the various political parties during his extensive tour of Uttar Pradesh.

    The Uttar Pradesh state elections spread through a seven phase polling in the months of February and March, 2012 are seen as an opportunity for the ruling Congress party to re-establish a foothold in its erstwhile political base in the country's fifth largest and most populous state.

    Uttar Pradesh is politically important, as it sends a large number of lawmakers to the Parliament in New Delhi.

    Voting in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases starting February 4 and finishing on February 28.

    Four other states, including Punjab, will hold elections between January 28 and March 3.

    The results of the election would be declared on March 4. (ANI)

      Having Rahul Gandhi in power as a PM means next 10/20 years, they can keep looting this country and park their funds in Swiss accounts. But fortunately, people have realized the name of their game. Rahul Gandhi becoming a Prime Minister means, his mother Sonia Gandhi indirectly ruling and his sister and her husband Robert Vadedra becoming kingpins.

      In short,aam admi is fade-up of this game of the corrupt politicians and wants to throw them out. Remember, it is no more a old generation that matters anymore, but the youth of this country who wants to decide who will rule this country in the most professional, non corrupt and visionary manners to take India to next level. They are not interested in vote bank politics nor they want to divide communities like these political class has been doing for the past many years. They want results, efficiency, progress and taxpayers money spent smartly.It is social politics and not politics of vote banks.

      With Anna Hazare's movement and the youth supporting Anna, it is a clear writing on the wall...forget about corrupt political person coming into social life. He she has no chance now. Whether you are from Neharu family or any other politically influential family. Who cares? Aam Admi doesnt. We don't. We want clean efficient result oriented governance. That's it.

      Rahul Gandhi has only one qualification and that is, he is born in Neharu family. That's all. What is his academic background otherwise? What is his experience?

      His past is alredy in the public domain being questioned. His educational background is in question. If you go to You Tube, there you will see many videos talking about his and Sonia Gandhi's background. Many questions raised about their wealth accumulation in overseas banks and their connections outside with people like Quotrochi.

      What is his ability to lead this nation of 1.25 billino population with complex issues? Only select close friends of Neharu Khandan who have prospered in the last 65 years dring Congress rule are trying to promote him to PM position.

      Credibility of Rahul's campaign in UP will be decided by the people of UP. Accidental superiority works in all walks of life not in plitics only. The question is whether Rahul is sincere to his declared ideology . If the politicians with different party labels work sincerely for materialising their declared ideology India wuould have been the most powerful and credible nation in the world. But we find only cheating politicians who amass wealth for their family.

      Uma and BJP, and they have nothing to tell their own credibility. They have no real issues that is the reason when the election time comes they remember for others credibility. What about their own leader Advani's credibility who is born among terrorists in pak? Like Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is it a forgotten story or is it only in secret agenda? All double standards of BJP and Uma.

      Here are the Creditibility Of Rahul Gandhi

      At the very beginning of the book, "The Nehru Dynasty", mentions the names of Jawaharlal's father and grandfather.
      Jawahar Lal's father was believed to be Motilal and Motilal's father was one Gangadhar Nehru.
      And we all know that Jawaharlal's only daughter was Indira Priyadarshini Nehru; Kamala Nehru was her mother, who died in Switzerland of tuberculosis.
      She was totally against Indira's proposed marriage with Feroze.
      Why? No one tells us that!

      Now, who is this Feroze?
      We are told by many that he was the son of the family grocer.
      The grocer supplied wines,etc. to Anand Bhavan (previously known as Ishrat Manzil)

      What was the family grocer's name?
      One frequently hears that Rajiv Gandhi's grandfather was Pandit Nehru.
      But then we all know that everyone has two grandfathers, the paternal and the maternal grandfathers.
      In fact, the paternal grandfather is deemed to be the more important grandfather in most societies

      Why is it then, no where, we find Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather's name?
      It appears that the reason is simply this. Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather was a Muslim gentleman from the Junagadh area of Gujarat .
      This Muslim grocer by the name of Nawab Khan, had married a Parsi woman after converting her to Islam.
      This is the source where from the myth of Rajiv being a Parsi was derived.
      Rajiv's father Feroze, was Feroze Khan before he married Indira, against Kamala Nehru's wishes.

      Feroze's mother's family name was Ghandy, often associated with Parsis and this was changed to Gandhi,sometime before his wedding with Indira, by an affidavit.

      The fact of the matter is that (and this fact can be found in many writings) Indira was very lonely. Chased out of the Shantiniketan University by Guru Dev Rabindranath himself for misdemeanor, the lonely girl was all by herself,
      while father Jawahar was busy with politics, pretty women and illicit sex;
      the mother was in hospital.
      Feroze Khan, the grocer's son was then in England and he was quite sympathetic to Indira and soon enough she changed her religion, became a Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque.

      Nehru was not happy; Kamala was dead already or dying. The news of this marriage eventually reached Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (better known as Mahatma Gandhi).
      Gandhi urgently called Nehru and practically ordered him to ask the young man to change his name from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change of religion, from Islam to Hinduism for instance.
      It was just a case of a change of name by an affidavit. And so Feroze Khan became Feroze Gandhi.

      It's a known fact that after Rajiv's birth Indira and Feroze lived separately, but they were not divorced.

      Feroze used to harass Nehru frequently for money and also interfere in Nehru's political activities. Nehru got fed up and left instructions not to allow him into the Prime Minister's residence Trimurthi Bhavan.
      The death of Feroze came as a relief to Nehru and Indira. The death of Feroze in 1960 before he could consolidate his own political forces, is itself a mystery. Feroze had even planned to remarry

      Coming back to Rajiv Gandhi,
      we all know now that he changed his so called Parsi religion to become a Catholic to marry Sania Maino of Turin , Italy .

      Rajiv became Roberto.
      His daughter's name is Bianca and son's name is Raul.

      Quite cleverly the same names are presented to the people of India as Priyanka and Rahul.

      What is amazing is the extent of our people's ignorance in such matters.

      This is the Nehru dynasty that India worships and now a foreigner leads a prestigious national party because of just one qualification being married into the Nehru

        Negi: Partly true. Motilal Nehru was a brothel keeper for the Advocate Mohammad Ali owning Ishrant Manzil. Jawharlal Nehru was born to Advocate Mohammad Ali. Motilal brothel keeper duped his boss big time and cheated/bought his bosses house and it became Anand Bhavan. First thing Nehru/Ali did after becoming PM was to demolish the brothel he was born! There more shady deals with the family! One day they will come out in detail though they are there websites outside India!

      Indian PM 's post is not meant for learning and apprenticeship for people like Rahul.People like Rahul will only ruin the country .A PM must be matured,well read, must have thorough knowledge about India''s history, economy,culture,geography,politics,international affairs,leadership qualities,great statesmanship,diplomatic proficiency and several more.What Rahul has?A big Zero.Merely eating and meeting with Dalits and touring UP villages and belonging to Nehru/Gandhi family is not the sole criteria for becoming PM.

      Why they are opposing Ramdeb ? Just to hide lakhs of Crores. Rahul has no moral right to speak against corruption.

      The fake Ghandis, spelling their name "Gandhi", evil crooked Rahul and Sonia and her Mafia have been rigging India's elections for a very long time. Time for the people to kick these crooks out !!! the old crooked Singh is their hand puppet.
    • vikas singh  •  Pune, Maharashtra  •  4 months ago
      Now there is no Nehru Khandan any more. Soniya Gandhi is not the blood of Nehru family. Rahul gandhi is grown under soniya gandhi which do not have any relation with Nehru khandan. The Indian rulers are foreigners....

      With a very old useless, power hungry Paki born junk Advani controlling BJP, it is slow to wake up as usual! About Rahul, he has exposed himself too much with his idiocities and actions! When he sends his mother to treatment in New York costing us about 1000 crores, his dramas in poor dalit houses make no sense! His great grandfather and down the dynasty wearing Gandhi caps, only did dramas! They need to do some new dramas, deliver new lectures and do some new dances. Here Priyanka will be of help!

      BJP claiming to be a party with a difference, to hide its own failings and sins is now busy casting aspersions on others, before the UP state assembly election, revealing BJP's bankruptsy in politics. Before questioning credibility of Rahul Gandhi during his poll campaigning in UP, BJP should first declatre credibility of its own stalwarts who after its first and perhaps the last six year rule at the centre from 1998-2004, have not won any Lok Sabha elections held in 2004 and 2009.

      Raul even sent money to the weavers of UP by doing by-pass of the state govt. to hit Mayawati. Was it fair ? And then calling it as the money of their's (congress) as if the country's money is the money of 10 Janpath. ha ha ha. These congees already think about our India as their personal property. Shame
    • TAIL TWISTER  •  Bangalore, Karnataka  •  4 months ago
      For Karnataka corruption CBI is useless. But against Mayawati all documents are with central Government and CBI is not taking action. This joker does not know CBI can act only on state's approval. He wants centre to take all cases against Maya and prosecute her through CBI. Does this not spoils the federal system?? BJP does not know how to manage things. They tell some thing today and get caught next day morning. THIS Abbas NAKLI is an opportunist. His own religion has discarded him. he polishes all BJP leaders boots to survive.
    • Krishna  •  Mumbai, Maharashtra  •  4 months ago
      Why BJP should be scarred of coming out with issues to nail Sonia and Rahul and their property instead of talking in general terms? At least, BJP can point out what most Indians know!
    • Divakara  •  Mumbai, Maharashtra  •  4 months ago
      BJP and its supporters ought to know that old useless Advani is the biggest albatross around BJP's neck. He has been most useless as HM and DyPM. With too many twists and turns, it is difficult to predict his next step. He raises a point (starting from Ayodhya, Swiss bank money, corruption and so on)! When Congress hits back, he goes into hiding. With more than 60 percent of Indians below the age of 35 years, to accept another 84 plus year old as leader of something is unacceptable to all! If he is given a chair, it will be beti raj like the foster son-in-law and officials' Vajpayee raj and beta raj of Morarajee Desai!

      What is the credibility of BJP leaders? Power-hungry party is lapping up 'garbage' thrown by BSP gleefully. How can such a corrupt party ever give anything worthy to this nation? In-fighting is common in BJP as each one of them is full of false Ego. They spit and then lick...as was the case with Uma Bharati. SHAMELESS people!
