The crown prince of India, prime minister in waiting (speculation is rife that he might replace Manmohan Singh in 2012), Rahul Gandhi seems to be tight-lipped on all the major issues facing the nation now. But he hogs disproportionately huge amount of publicity, just by travelling to various parts of the country.
Kashmir is literally burning. The chief minister, said to be favored by the crown prince, has lost control of the situation. Rahul Gandhi does not speak anything about it. The naxalite menace is spreading fast and the maoists run parallel government in a significant number of districts. He does not speak about it. But he attends public rallies alongside those very maoists. Andhra Pradesh is witnessing a fervent, divisive and sometimes violent, agitation demanding a separate state. He does not speak about it. He does not even visit AP on his tours, probably to avoid the local media. But he goes to colleges and universities across the nation urging students to join politics. He should make his presence felt, shouldn't he?
The nation expects its future prime minister to have a view on every major issue. Surprisingly the media also does not seem to ask for his opinion on any of the issues. How should the nation understand his silence? Is he trying to be politically correct by keeping quiet? Or is he simply clueless on issues?

His mom has been silent on all (not most) issues that the nation has faced and been facing. Nation has no clue on what Soniaji stands for. It is just disturbing to see opposition parties and media not following up on this anytime.
