till remain inaccessible to the common man. These cannot be Prime Minister Candidates, for that you need a Rahul Gandhi.
In the same vein but on a different platform- there are mass popular leaders like Bal Thacekrey or Raj Thackeray- who can gauze the pulse of the public and influence their opinion. The same thing cannot be said about UddhavThackeray- he may be popular but cannot win any popularity contest against the above two.
Sonia Gandhi or Sushama Swaraj or Bimla Karat have the sensitivity to listen to the laity bu they lack the Charisma of Rajiv Gandhi or Atal Bihari Vajpayee or Somnath Chaterjee respectively.
So what do we do- My friends Beggars are not Choosers. We have to make do with the leaders thrust on us like the Laloos and Mulayams-Yedurappas and Jagan Reddys- the Sharad Pawars and the Kalamadis- the Mehbooba Muftis and Abdullas. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari we lack leaders with credibility.
Let the young educated brigade following Anna Hazare and loving the country- vow to change this entire scenario-disband the corrupt old guard and make this country on par with Denmark and New Zealand and Finland and Sweden . The country will not be MAHAN by uttering Mera Bharat mahan, but each one of us striving to make it so.
