The most powerful brand in India...
... is the Gandhi™ brand. And the Congress wants more of it.
As I've written before, it's a question of when, not if, Rahul Gandhi leads the Congress party. It's remarkable that despite the manner in which Indira Gandhi emasculated this country, the Gandhi™ brand still counts for so much in India. Of course, I'm not saying that Rahul should be punished for the sins of his ancestors. But it's a pity that the powerful position he will certainly hold in Indian politics will come to him courtesy his name alone.
