On making Congress scion Rahul Gandhi head the Congress coordination committee for the 2014 elections (with 18 more months still to go), the jury is undecided whether it was the best possible role for him.

The last time Rahul did something worth taking note was back in 2009, when the party won 22 seats from Uttar Pradesh, much, perhaps, to its own shock. Since then, he is best remembered for the assembly poll debacle earlier this year in the same state, when the Congress won only a handful of seats, against the run of tide, general expectation and much, perhaps, to its own shock.

In such a scenario, do you think Rahul is Congress’s best bet?
