If Rahul Gandhi's superlative performance against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the recent state elections is being described as RaGa 1.0, will he give us a sequel - RaGa 2.0 – in the coming April-May polls? Will the summer of 2019 bring the party president the best days of his political life?

It's not impossible. Gandhi should be able to realise his dream only after meeting challenges that the recent developments have thrown to him. His acceptability within Congress and outside has taken a quantum leap. But some non-BJP parties don't see a sweeping victory for him in the recent elections. They endorse the view that it was luck that ditched the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, and it was the BJP that defeated itself in Rajasthan. Getting them on board is the next big task.
