Why is Congress President Rahul Gandhi known as Pappu in Political World?
Playing text to speech
When we think about Indian politics, particularly Rahul Gandhi, we know that he inherited the heritage of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. Among his ancestors are Motilal Nehru (Great-Great Grandfather), Jawaharlal Nehru (Great Grant Father), Indira Gandhi (Grandmother), and Rajeev Gandhi (Father). India's Prime Ministers were Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Rajeev Gandhi. All of them served as Presidents of the Congress party at various times.
For 37 of the 74 years since independence, the Nehru-Gandhi family-controlled India. The so-called projection of Congress as a representation of a dynastic political party has no validity in a parliamentary democracy.
A.B. Bajpai was the BJP's most famous member. Party members pick a party president based on their attractiveness to the public, ability to generate votes, and ability to lead the party to victory in elections. A politician whose party wins an election becomes the party's default option for prime minister after the election.
Thus, Rahul Gandhi's DNA is more political than others. Even if he had consciously decided to remain out of politics, the Indian people would have dragged him back into it by loyalty or influence. (Just like Rajeev Gandhi.) People in India love, adore and worship their leaders, which will be the case for a long time.
Rahul Gandhi has been elevated above other politicians in Indian politics as the Nehru-Gandhi family's heir apparent. Except for Varun Feroze Gandhi, no other politician can claim such a legacy. So, referring to Rahul Gandhi as 'PAPPU' throughout the election campaign was a well-planned ploy by the BJP to win and destroy the Congress.
In northern India, 'Pappu' is a name for someone who is naively dumb.
In the case of Rahul Gandhi, this name was coined by Dr. Kumar Vishwas of the Aam Aadmi Party during the 'Anna Aandolan' anti-corruption campaign. He used it in one of the tweets that went viral. Following that, the BJP IT cell took it up on social media and began using it to mock Rahul Gandhi. Furthermore, several prominent BJP officials began using this word in their campaign speeches. Even Amit Shah, the BJP's Uttar Pradesh chief before the 2014 elections, has raised misgivings.
He is Pappu because he did not take his job and responsibilities seriously enough... or because he should have spent more time studying Indian politics and progressing to the point where he could have managed situations involving national concerns.
Rahul lacks both a skilled orator and a mind-blowing charisma to draw attention. He must at least convey his image so that his constitution's progress and social security are outstanding.
1. In his first address as Vice President of the INC, Gandhi said that
'Despite being the world's biggest organization, Congress does not have any laws. Every 2 minutes, we alter laws and demolish old ones. Nobody knows what the INC laws are. I sometimes wonder how it works.'
'I woke up in the middle of the night this morning.'
2. He delivered a perplexing address at a FICCI convention in which he claimed
'You work in the airline business, so you have the aircraft industry; the aircraft has tyres, so you have the river industry; the aircraft has passengers, so you have the people industry; the aircraft has food, so you have the food industry, so how can you tell me you work in the airline sector?'
3. During a speech in Gujarat, he said:
'There is someone in India who speaks about Gujarat to the whole country, but if there is somebody who has created Gujarat, who has given Amul to Gujarat, who has provided milk to Gujarat, look at this side. Gujarat has received it from these ladies.'
4. Following the Mumbai Bomb Blasts in 2011, he said at a news conference in Bhubaneswar:
'It is very tough to prevent every single terrorist act. We will prevent 99 percent of terrorist strikes, but one percent may occur '
5. Speaking at the CII Annual General Meeting, he said:
'We're referred to as elephants. We are not elephants, but beehives. It's amusing but think about it. Which is more powerful? Is that an elephant or a hive?'
'We get into this paradigm where you have one man who comes and fixes everything. He'll arrive on a horse. That is the model. That is the Indian model. He'll ride in on the horse. The sun is seen in the backdrop. A billion individuals are patiently waiting. Everything will be OK when he arrives. No, that is not going to work.'
'People speak about persons. Lower-level persons can solve a wide range of difficulties. Give a billion individuals the ability to solve an issue, and it will be solved in a flash.'
6. Speaking at a closed-door event hosted by the Dalit Resource Centre at the Gobind Ballabh Pant Social Science Institute, he said that
'Poverty is really a condition of mind. It does not imply a lack of food, money, or other possessions. We can overcome poverty if we have trust in ourselves.'
7. Speaking to hundreds of NSUI and Youth Congress members, Gandhi said that
