Robert Vadra should not forget apart from himself and the may be another 5% rich in India rest of us are all mango people. It is a country for the mango people ruled by the orchard owners (political parties). Since we are mango people he was able to go ahead and earn his riches like the rest of his ilk in the political class.
Obviously Robert Vadra did not have an idea about what his mango people comment can do in terms of damage, in the first place the banana republic he calls India as is governed by the party he belongs to and secondly same mango people have voted his party to power in 2009 and 2004.
His comments can be attributed to political arrogance which is on the rise in India. This arrogance spans across political spectrum. The feeling that they are above law makes them behave irrationally. They are aware the laws are for the “mango people”. In such a situation it is important for new political outfits like IAC to be successful to bring balance into the debate.
Mean while Robert Vadra should start seriously working for the cause of mango farmers in the country. India perhaps produces the best quality mangoes in the world but our farmers are not able to make money due to middle men, lack of storage infrastructure and inability to export. I am sure Robert can use his good offices to do something good here for the mango men in India.
