    This shows, how Mr. Rahul Gandhi
    is concerned with the well-being
    of the backward communities.
    Ms. P.J. Vijayalakshmi is only
    27, from a backward community
    but educated. Other top ranking
    politicians might be totally
    disappointed now by missing the
    conveted and powerful minister's
    seat.
