On Monday, December 26, 2022, Rahul Gandhi, who wants to usher in a kinder- gentler-minus-hate India via his Bharat Jodo Yatra, paid homage to India's prime ministers from Jawaharlal Nehru to Atal Bihari Vajpayee at their memorials in New Delhi.
May we suggest that Rahul spend Tuesday night with the homeless in Delhi who are shivering in cold and frosty conditions? All these lonely people, as the Beatles sang in Eleanor Rigby, where do they all belong?
