Rahul Gandhi often says that he and the Congress party will always play on the front foot and that they are never going to play on the back foot against the BJP. That's fine up to a point, but since he has used a cricketing analogy, let me just say that a good batsman should be equally adept in both front and back foot in order to negotiate hostile bowling from the opposition. He should see the example in Narendra Modi in that how he would purposely shift on the back foot; when he would become maudlin and start crying in the name of his mother and also his humble origins. Even though how humble the man is in a real sense, is, of course, another matter. So, you see? Indian politics is a devious business, and Mr. Gandhi should learn from the best.
