Rahul Gandhi & his Family Business - Congress: The Economist

Rahul Gandhi & his Family Business - Congress: "Today Congress stands ready to do the family's bidding, like a well-upholstered Ambassador car always at the front door. A second, even more impressive vehicle, known simply as India, boasts wheels of state, and its chauffeur is respectfully called 'prime minister'. It offers an exhilarating if often erratic ride (it belches smoke and lurches in unexpected directions, when it is not stuck in traffic). It is currently on loan to a loyal and honest retainer, Manmohan Singh, no mean driver for a man of his years. But this car is Rahul's heirloom. It is just a question of time before he asks for the keys back."
