Access to him is also a problem, as several Congress leaders confirmed. For a year now, Sonia has been regularly sending partymen who come to her with problems to meet Rahul. But while senior leaders have to wait weeks to get an audience with him, he seems to have enough time for cricketers and film stars. Senior party leader Kamal Nath confirmed as much in an interview to an English news channel. “When I go to Sonia with a problem, she says please go to Rahul. When I go to Rahul Gandhi, he says the Congress president will resolve (the issue).” Another says that when people who call on him with problems, he asks them to come up with solutions. “If they had the solutions, they wouldn’t come to him the first place, right?” he says. “He is arrogant,” says yet another former cabinet minister, “constantly looking into his mobile. I wonder if he’s listening to me or not.” He also recalls how Sonia had to call Rahul’s key aide Kanishka Singh to ask him to call her back after he refused to take or answer her calls for three days.

Those at the receiving end are calling it blackmail. He wants inner party democracy, they say, but then appoints sons of former politicians as PCC chiefs—the Pilots and the Scindias—thus only perpetuating the ‘netaputravaad’. “He himself is there because there is no inner party democracy,” says a former minister and general secretary of the party. “As long as he is around, there cannot be inner party democracy. On his own, he wouldn’t be allowed to man even a polling booth.”

Vinod Mehta was secular in his outlook, but he was nobody's chamcha. Had he been a congress chamcha he would not have said this:

Is the dynasty over?
No one can say. It would be easy to say the dynasty is over. They are definitely at a crossroads. For the first time serious questions are being raised about them. And this is the first time when there is a serious possibility of the dynasty disintegrating.
