Rahul Gandhi, on the other hand, has never been in the government. He has no administrative experience therefore he carries no baggage. But he is also not known to posses compromising and accommodative nature. In fact, Nehru-Gandhi family is not known for compromises. They have always ruled with iron-hand. Be it Jawahar Lal Nehru, India Gandhi or Rajiv Gandhi, they all had clear cut majority behind them in the parliament. All Coalition governments led by Congress party were presided over by those Congressmen who were not part of Nehru-Gandhi family. Rahul Gandhi, by nature, looks very introvert. He is not even articulate and always looks short of words when replying to crucial questions of socio-economic interests. It is an indication of the fact that man management is not something Rahul is either comfortable with or would love to spend time on but in a coalition government, it's an essential pre-requisite. This is not to say that a Prime Minister does all the micro-management required for running a coalition government but there are allies who prefer not to talk to anybody less than the Prime Minister himself. That is where the real challenge lies for Rahul Gandhi.
