Letter from a former tutor of Rahul Gandhi

Dear Editor, Firstly, I am writing this letter with a very heavy heart and anonymously. Now you would ask why anonymously? Answer to that question is that I still teach and I have to feed my family, if the word gets out that I used to teach him, I hardly think anyone would send their ward to my tutorship. I taught him over a period of 5 years, from 7 th grade to 12 th grade. Due to security reasons, I had to teach him alone. I still remember teams of SPG commandos outside my gate. Those head gears and black fatigues, a far cry from the today’s safari suit wearing body guards. So, why am I writing a letter? I have been asking myself the same question since the polls results.  A part of me was happy that BJP finally won, but inside a part of me was sad that the party run by my former student had been reduced to 44 seats from the 100 odd something they had won in last election. He was a quiet boy. Came on time, always brought his books and notebook, never threw any tantrums around
