Elusive quality in the high offices they occupied, both UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi #SoniaGandhi and administrator Hari Chandana #HariChandana lead powerfully yet responsibly valuing transparency and restraint. Amidst unbridled political corruption, self-made Gandhi represented a clean break from the past through personal integrity safeguarded further legislatively through gamechanging RTI. Similarly Chandana #Telangana seeds steady institutional shifts checking self-serving governance – be it open data policies or community monitoring of schemes ensuring that power applied uplifts public interest. #INC
However limitations differ for bureaucrat versus politician despite proximity to authority. Still through mantras of selection driven by merit over money and people-centric policies above personal promotion, vital lessons emerge from Gandhi and Chandana on deploying power ethically as a public trust vested to transform citizens’ lives, not to enjoy its seductions #Congress #RahulGandhi
