The so called aged and experienced people could not revive the congress,what these unexperienced youths will do.This is a chance to make money at younger age.It is also being high lighted that rahul has refused to become the minister.When Sonia wants him to become Prime minister,Certainly he will refuse.Also congress is a party of foolish people,it is easy to convince.Shame on congress.
