11/11. And that is where the Congress loses whatever support and sympathy it might have.

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

10/11. Because if he indeed did HEAR the people, he would know how easy the resistance he talks of is, how people are willing to join hands with HIM, and not any Tom, Dick or Harry masquerading as Rahul Gandhi's alter ego. ...11/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

9/11. Fact remains, Rahul Gandhi, surrounded as he is by a coterie, does not HEAR the voice of the people; he only gets to hear what the coterie around him filter in. ...10/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

7/11. About vote chori, the less said the better. Despite being in power in Karnataka, where Rahul Gandhi himself has shown how vote chori happened, not one single person even got suspended, let alone lost his job. ...8/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

8/11. And not all those indulging in vote chori were Central Government employees; most were Karnataka State Government employees whose services were at that time at the disposal of the Election Commission. ...9/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

6/11. And that leads to a walkover almost everywhere as the results of the local body elections will show, but the spin doctors will point to one constituency where there was an upset and try to mask the complete rout...usually successfully. ...7/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

5/11. Look at Gujarat - one wouldn't vote for the party regardless of the candidates only because the leadership of @INCGujarat is either seen to be sleeping, or worse, sleeping with those it is supposed to oppose. ...6/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

4/11. Fortunately, he did not become the Chief Minister of Kerala; that would have been like grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. The organisation continues to be stuck in the rut. ...5/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

1/11. Heard @RahulGandhi's speech at the INDIA Alliance meeting, 8th June, 2026 at https://t.co/dzjOBgU4Fu... Also read the transcript for good measure.
I must say it is a very thoughtfully worded speech which creates a facade of things going to be set right. ...2/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

3/11. There is no change whatsoever in the party organisation; the old, unreliable and burnt out hands continue to call the shots. @kcvenugopalmp might be the most powerful after @RahulGandhi but he scores very, very low in the scale of public faith and public trust. ...4/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

2/11. Unfortunately, that is what it is: only words, a facade.
The @INCIndia has mastered the art of saying things and then not following through. The same @RahulGandhi had thundered about bringing about change in the party, of winning Gujarat, vote chori etc. etc. etc. ...3/11

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

Probably @MahuaMoitra doesn’t remember - neither this message nor the email. People never remember their arrogance.

But perhaps @MamataOfficial and her @AITCofficial might do well to know what happens when I, the citizen, the Sovereign, collectively We, the People, get slighted.

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

Heard even a murmur of protest from ABSOLUTELY ANYONE in the opposition?

But each one of the leaders and/or parties will want you to believe that they are the ones opposing, even when they do nothing at all to oppose.

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

19/19 @ArvindKejriwal/@AamAadmiParty that emerge as leaders & then go down as run of the mill, or even a @priyankagandhi who continue to forever emerge. Only because they do not have the guts to bite the bullet when it matters and stand by the people whom they claim to represent.

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

1/19. So the protest at Jantar Mantar is done and over with. The actual scale of the protest remains unknown with conflicting videos posted online so one needs to look at other ways to find out. ...2/19

[Vishwas Bhamburkar @bvishwas]

18/19. And that is where new leaders are born. A Gandhi, a Martin Luther King or a Nelson Mandela who emerge from such situations and grow further into greatness; or an Anna Hazare or ...19/19
