Brown Sahib’s colonial hangover: How Congressis are perpetually in awe of Gandhi siblings mingling with gareeb Indians

Under criticism for his feedback on the North vs South divide, alongside along with his gaffe demanding a fisheries ministry in India though there already exists one, senior Congress chief and the youthful of the Gandhi scions, Rahul Gandhi tried to deflect the eye by venturing into the ocean.
Gandhi’s escapade into the ocean off the Thangassery harbour in Kollam district and swam alongside the fishermen from Kerala was captured in a video that was launched on the web a short time later. And quickly sufficient, Congress supporters and lackeys went head over heels in love with their chief for his ‘kindness’ to socialize with the native fishermen and his ‘bravery’ to leap into the ocean.
A motley assortment of impartial journalists, leftist social media influencers, Congress supporters and various propagandists couldn’t cease themselves from expressing their admiration for Rahul Gandhi over the incident. They took to Twitter to fawn over the Wayanad MP’s ‘brave jump’ into the Arabian Sea, singing paeans to the Gandhi scion.
Journalist Sunetra Choudhary appeared extremely awestruck with the video that she shared footage and requested her followers if that they had watched it.

Vinod Kapri, a self-proclaimed journalist, lamented over the non-coverage of Rahul Gandhi’s occasion in Kerala. Attacking media over the dearth of protection, Kapri claimed that media would have referred to the particular person as a ‘superman’ or ‘waterman’ if it was somebody apart from Rahul Gandhi.
यही किसी और ने किया होता तो वो अब तक SUPERMAN , WATER MAN , बाहुबली, महामानव आदि आदि घोषित कर दिए गए होते। pic.twitter.com/lPTXMJJQY5— Vinod Kapri (@vinodkapri) February 25, 2021
Similarly, others too shared the video footage and sang praises to their chief, seemingly for swimming in an open sea. Amidst this cacophony, the contentious remarks made by the Gandhi scion on North Indian and his gaffe of demanding fisheries ministries have been brushed apart as your entire Congress ecosystem swung into motion to go gaga over their chief’s actions.
Defending the spectacle, obsequious Congress supporters and leaders claimed that your entire affair was an off the cuff occasion. It is to be famous that common Kerala-based vlogger, Sebin Cyriac, was additionally current on the event, and had shot the video that had gone viral on the web. In the sunshine of those particulars, it’s anyone’s guess if the spectacle was spontaneous or staged.
Nonetheless, this didn’t discourage Congress supporters from expressing their enthusiasm over the occasion. Another set of servile supporters used an image of drenched Rahul Gandhi to drool over his supposed ‘six-pack abs’. Though Gandhi was sporting a t-shirt within the image, Congress leaders and supporters have been too observant to declare that the Gandhi scion had abs. Sharing the image, Congress chief Vijender Singh hailed Gandhi as a boxer and tweeted, “Abs of a boxer”.

Congress propagandist Gaurav Pandhi posted a tweet asking Rahul Gandhi to share ideas with everybody on getting such ‘abs’.

A number of days later, one other alternative introduced itself, and Congress loyalists wasted no time in pouncing on it. A video of Rahul Gandhi doing push-ups throughout an interplay with college students at a Tamil Nadu college was launched on social media web sites. And Congress leaders and sympathisers immediately grabbed the chance to enter raptures over their chief.
I like this aspect to @RahulGandhi and doing that one hand push up – #respect https://t.co/UcFlcbYgLy— Mahrukh Inayet (@mahrukhinayet) March 1, 2021
Gandhi was in a marketing campaign blitz in Southern India, however his imaginative and prescient for the Southern states or the ballot guarantees made by him weren’t one thing that Congress supporters gave the impression to be all in favour of. Instead, they have been enthused by the Wayanad MP’s health ranges. Shortly after Gandhi’s push-up video surfaced on the web, Congress supporters began sharing #RahulPushUpChallenge, calling on folks to share movies of themselves doing 10 common push-ups and 1 one-handed push-up.

This extreme adulation is not only restricted to Rahul Gandhi alone. Even his elder sibling, Priyanka Gandhi, is commemorated and idolised to the identical extent. Priyanka Gandhi was not too long ago in Assam, canvassing for the upcoming Assembly polls and interacting with the native folks. But what had the Congress functionaries and leaders in awe of the Gandhi scion was not the guarantees she made or assurances she gave. Instead, they have been dazzled along with her smile.
Just have a look at these smiles overflowing with happiness ❤️ pic.twitter.com/GCtpzViA9H— Ruchira Chaturvedi (@RuchiraC) March 2, 2021

Congress supporters stay perpetually in awe of the Gandhi duo
For a very long time now, Congress supporters, sympathisers and loyalists have been in awe of the Gandhi siblings. This veneration of the Gandhi duo stems from the lineage they belong to and the super energy they wield.
It is a proven fact that Gandhi siblings have been raised in a privileged setting. They had all of the sources at their disposal. The proven fact that their nice grandfather, grandmother and father had served because the Prime Minister of the nation and their household had the reins of India’s oldest political celebration even earlier than India attained its independence solely provides to the privilege and the entitlement loved by the Gandhi scions.
However, the reverence to the Gandhi duo turns into significantly stark when the siblings are seen socialising with the gareeb (poor) Indians. When the Gandhi duo is seen commingling with the poor lots, the Congress supporters go into overdrive to lavish praises on the siblings, lauding them for supposedly shunning their innate privileges to work together with the poor and utilizing epithets reminiscent of ‘down to earth’, ‘humble’, ‘people’s leaders’ and so forth to explain them. It exhibits that regardless of greater than 70 years of India’s independence, the colonial hangover of the Congress supporters continues unabated, manifested of their obsequious deference to the Gandhi siblings.
The poor Indian lots are used merely as propaganda prop by the Congress supporters to glorify their chief. For the Congress celebration, poor Indian lots is a vote financial institution that may be simply manipulated and used to defeat a formidable opponent. It is to this finish, that Congress leaders and its supporters fall over themselves to make use of poor for his or her propaganda functions.
In reality, for many years now, the poor and the grinding poverty they should reside in is exploited by the Congress celebration for his or her self-serving agenda. In the Nineteen Seventies, Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of the nation, made ‘Gareebi Hatao‘(Remove poverty) the theme and slogan of her election marketing campaign. However, many years later, India nonetheless continues to be gareeb.
Even Rahul Gandhi tried to resurrect the poverty subject to revive his political fortunes. In the run-up to the 2019 General elections, Gandhi blew away the cobwebs and echoed the identical slogan with a promise to get rid of poverty with a Universal Basic Income scheme. Even after 40 years, Congress’s use of the identical theme to solicit votes is a scathing indictment of how the gareeb Indians have been lowered to being puppets by the Congress celebration in its bid to advance its political ambitions.
Additionally, whereas Congress supporters and sympathisers go gaga over their leaders mingling with the poor lots, they take sturdy objection when others socialise with the poor. On a number of events, they’ve dismissed PM Modi’s outreach programmes for the poor as publicity stunts, pulled off solely to realize reputation among the many lots. They, maybe, concern that PM Modi, who has himself witnessed the times of dire poverty and who has risen by means of the ranks and was not born with a silver spoon just like the Gandhi siblings, would forge a strong bond with the lots, rendering the Gandhi duo’s charm-offensives of poor futile.
