Had Rahul Gandhi made the speech Narendra Modi did last week, he would have been hailed as India's shining white hope. But, since it was Modi, he had to be reviled. What he said was unexceptionable. So he had to be attacked on other grounds.Tavleen Singh: An outsider in a private club
So much so that even his former mentor, the tireless Shri Lal Krishna Advani, made an immediate veiled attack on him by saying that Independence Day should be an occasion when political leaders should refrain from criticising each other. Why? Shri Advani then trotted off to Rashtrapati Bhavan and was seen cozying up to Sonia Gandhi at the President's Independence Day tea party.
I found this particular detail interesting because of my conviction that the reason why us denizens of Lutyens's Delhi hate Modi so much is because he is a rank outsider. He comes from the wrong class and caste. He speaks little English. He dares to criticise the Dynasty we revere. And he exhibits a marked disdain for socialism and secularism.

RS, I commented to IS on bharatbharati.wordpress.com and seems that he did not like my counter argument. He did not approve my comments. I have seen this problem with big names.
