Rahul has seen the enemy. And it looks like the UPA. The 'murder and rape' remark he made with reference to the administrative high-handedness in UP, metaphorically describes the general situation in Manmohan Singh's India. He has invited rebuke for speaking a literal falsehood, but his words carry relevance to the murder of the egalitarian dream and rape of fertile lands through SEZs; the murder of livelihoods and rape of indigenous systems; and the murder of, to quote Dr. Vandana Shiva of Navdanya Trust, "food democracy".
