The Revival of Congress in UP

The biggest surprise of this elections has been the revival of the congress party in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The media has been hailing the contribution of Rahul gandhi as the major factor behind the congress party's success. Well i guess there were innumberable reasons behind the success but as is very well said that success has many fathers and failure is an orphan , people are attributing all kinds of things to Rahul Gandhi. I am not sure about the extent of the Rahul factor as i believe it is still early days. The congress won in many seats because of flagship programmes of the UPA goevernment such as NREGA and the waiving of the farm loan. What Rahul Gandhi did was to primarily motivate his cadres out there and instill a sense of self belief. On the top of that by touring the entire state and reaching out to the young and destitute he came across as a person who was honest, sincere and hardworking. Now since the congress has got a such a tremendous support from the people of the state its imperative on their part to fulfill their promises and transform the state and bring it within the realms of prosperity.
