Rahul Gandhi’s behaviour in Parliament as the Leader of Opposition leaves much to be desired. His sense of entitlement and arrogance come across in ample proportions, despite the apologists trying to justify his behaviour. He always seems to be in an angry mood, whether dealing with his own people (tearing the Ordinance in front of a shocked Manmohan Singh) or with others who are not to his liking. One day, he will surely gain power if he assumes the immense responsibility of building the nation rather than building himself as the next Prime Minister. This time is, in fact, the best advertisement for democracy. A robust government, impervious to overthrow, and a robust opposition capable of preventing the executive from adopting arbitrary and tyrannical policies have rarely happened in our country’s history. All leaders from the ruling party and the opposition should seize the opportunity to build the country in terms of roads, water, food, environment, and security for its citizens, who are unfortunately remembered only during elections.
