I had also predicted that by launching a personal attack on Modi, charging him with corruption charges, Rahul Gandhi will get trapped into the political mesh of the PM
And that exactly happened, when PM, in his address in Varanasi, first mocked at him by saying if he wouldn't have exposed him, there would have been a greater earthquake
And now that he has opened up, people have understood there will be no earthquake for sure
This one came from the biggest opponent Modi himself, but today a party insider Sheila Dikshit squeezed out the sharpness from Rahul Gandhi's attack on Modi by rubbishing the controversial Sahara diaries, a line which BJP had been taking by pointing to a SC judgement, rubbishing the papers to be ficticious
These are the diaries which Rahul Gandhi used to allege personal corruption of PM while he was Gujarat Chief Minister, but ignored Sheila Dikshit's name also figured in the list of monetary beneficiaries
This ignorance reflects lack of aplication of mind and grave complacency excercised by Rahul Gandi and the Congress top brass in accusing the PM
So, what are the options left for Congress and Rahul gandhi?
He will have to find some other way to counter the PM.
And if he doesn't, and persists with leveling personal corruption charges against PM, then the party will have to sacrifice the three-time former CM, former governor and their UP CM candidate
And if that happens, it will be like scoring a self goal
Now that denials have started to come out of the Congress camp itself, the validity of the papers have come into serious question.
