The problems the country faces today are complex and it is not easy
for any leader to take the Country and its people forward.Mr Rahul
Gandhi faces a formidable task economically, politically, socially and
emotionally. The Corruption is rampant and deep rooted and the
Governance in the country has been virtually absent.Ethics and Vlaues
which were once the strength of the Country have been literally given a
go bye and the disconnect between the Govt and the people has been
widening day by day without any hope or scope to bridge the gap.The
youth is impatient and everybody wants to make quick money and reach
the top by hook or crook. The morale of the people is at its low ebb
and who ever is the leader has to begin afresh from the scratch. Will
Rahul foot the bill will have to be seen from his actions and
commitments. People will have to wait and see. As it is,greatness and
leadership are thrust upon him and it is for him to prove his
mettle.The country has to move forward.
