Rahul Gandhi was in Bengaluru yesterday to take part in a function to launch National Herald’s commemorate publication ‘70 years of India’s Independence.’
Rajukumar was a very decent person who stayed away from politics! His soul must be turning in the grave to realize that Rahul is visiting his family to exploit them for political reasons ! His family members must be smart enough to realize that the had not heard of Rajakumar until he landed in Mysore 2 days ago! What kind of sympathy is this? He is hoping that Rajkumar’s fans will support Congress! But if history is any indicator, Akhiesh tied up with Rahul and got a fraction of votes that he would have got if he had not joined hands with Raahul! So, Rajkumar,’s sons should deny all association with Rahul or they say lose heavyly in the box office!
No chance for drama in the name of Rajanna
