Rahul Gandhi Education It is a great surprising fact to know that the command of the largest democracy of the world is in the hands of leaders with limited to no education at all. If anyone finds it hard to believe, have a look at the qualifications of our current Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi. You will not be much surprised to know as you were shocked to find out that the person holding the most prominent political position in our nation today has barely completed his school education. If you are still wondering what are the reasons because of which the implementation of demonetization and GST failed in the country, the answer lies right in front of your eyes. A person with a limited amount of education is not able to anticipate the needs of the nation and because of the lack of knowledge before implementing new business and economic policies in the nation have put the entire country in a great crisis of economy.

Rahul entered Indian politics in the May 2004 when he finally decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls from the traditional family constituency of Amethi which Rajiv Gandhi had once held. At that time, this move of Rahul Gandhi has generated great surprises amongst political commentators who considered his sister Priyanka more charismatic and likely to succeed in the future.

2009: Rahul Gandhi and UP Elections The results of the year 2009 General Elections has proved that the legacy of the Gandhi family and its deep union with the Congress Party is not just for namesake. Other than this, other major factors behind this win were barring Congress, there was no other political party which has fielded so many young candidates in the party. And without any doubt, the credit of this victory of UPA goes straight to Rahul Gandhi. He proved himself again by winning more than 20 seats in Uttar Pradesh and an overall of 204 seats in the Lok Sabha. Such incredible results in Uttar Pradesh when it was not expected that Congress will do so well were not because of any significant or strategic caste calculations. Rahul once said in the speech, “I feel we all should be detached from the power. Only then we all can contribute to the betterment of society.” Envisaging the same thought, he motivated the youth to join politics and make way for its holistic reformation.
