The
report about the Madhya Pradesh Congress adopting the 10-year-old
newspaper vendor who gave a newspaper free to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi,
because he had no change for 1000 rupee note, indicates that the PR Mangers of
the future PM are a useless lot. The whole episode calls up the past story of son
embracing mother and weeping when he was elevated to the post of vice-president
of the Congress party. The small boy is
seemingly more sensible as he did not prefer to take 1000 rupees
from Mr. Rahul Gandhi the future PM who is unaware of the fact that a news paper boy
never getsa collection in tune with Rs 1000 for his entire business for a day.
The
public relations managers’ story again fails when one thinks how with the
security ring around Rahul Gandhi, a 10 year old boy could approach
him. Could not modern gandhians around
the next PM have given the money
to the boy. The whole episode shows sign
of a miserable PR work out.
In
Kerala, while KPCC President Remesh Chennithala is on a walk for money, one congress man offered gold ring worth
Rs30000,other offered currency garland of Rs 25000. Though this is evidently against
the Reserve Bank directive of not to punch currency notes, they are not as
foolish as Madhya Pradesh congress men who ‘adopted’ the way-side news paper
boy.
