How The Hindu consoled itself and shielded Rahul Gandhi after electoral drubbing in 3 states: Blaming regional leaders, voters, Hindutva and more
Op IndiaBy now, we are all used to the Congress party leaders crediting the Gandhi family for victories and blaming the regional leaders for their defeats. The Hindu, in a great show of loyalty towards the Gandhi family, asks us – Did overconfident regional leaders in the Hindi heartland pay no heed to Congress top brass? That The Hindu wrote We are told by the author that in these three states, “heavyweights took independent decisions often ignoring the high command”. That The Hindu wrote The editorial is severely upset that the caste census idea of Rahul Gandhi did not resonate with the voters. That The Hindu wrote I hope the Gandhi family realises how faithful the editors and owners of The Hindu are towards them and make such great efforts to make them look good.
