To become a doctor, you need an MBBS degree; to become a lawyer, you need an LLB. So on and so forth.
But to become a politician — or, for that matter, to become the CM or the PM — we don’t know what we need (apart from the people’s mandate).
But a tweet of veteran Congress politician and Punjab CM Amarinder Singh has opened our eyes. We have started thinking differently.
In that new-found enlightenment, we have discovered there are five things that can make Rahul Gandhi the PM.
1.). He can drive a tractor
Because what is a country, really? Nothing but a tractor, plying the four wheels of Legislative, Executive, Judiciary and Media.
So, if Rahul Gandhi can drive a tractor, it’s quite evident that he will be able to drive a country forward too — according to Amarinder Singh!
Many people on Twitter are describing this as Amarinder Singh’s sycophancy. But no — we get him!
And this is the best political metaphor we have seen of late.
2.). He can fix a helicopter
There’s a difference between flying a helicopter and knowing how to fix a helicopter. If you can only fly and don’t know what to do when it abruptly stops, then you don’t understand her (the copter, we mean). A recent photo revealed that Rahul Gandhi actually lent a hand when his copter developed a technical snag.
This is what we require.
A driver to take our country to greater heights — but who will also know what to do when there’s a technical snag.
3.). He can play chess
Those who mocked Rahul Gandhi calling him 'Pappu' (which includes apparently some Congress veterans too), hello — please take a moment to appreciate this photo.
He is seen playing chess — and probably winning too.
4. He knows how to feature in two selfies at the same time
Taking a selfie is no child’s play. The PMO already has probably already seen the best expertise in this department. But there’s always room for perfection — and it seems Rahul Gandhi has a gift. He is a natural when it comes to taking selfies. He can also feature in multiple selfies.
Just like that.
5.). He is a wordsmith
The Congress president has invented a new word: Modilie, the meaning being ‘to constantly modify the truth’. And then, there were morons who actually rushed to the Oxford Dictionary to look up the word.
Excuse us. But don’t you understand that Rahul Gandhi is a funny person — which could have become the sixth quality to be the PM?
But as that would make him overqualified for the post, we kept it short and simple.
