This is an account of the politics of Rahul Gandhi, which is different from that pursued by his mother Sonia, father Rajiv, and grandmother Indira. Rahul’s philosophy is a form of corpo-politics, where management principles are applied to political leadership. The book establishes how Rahul’s politics is riddled with inconsistencies, symbolism and an opportunistic, rather than committed, engagement with national issues.
