RANK 10 – Rahul Gandhi, 46
Congress vice-president | (Rank 2016: 9)
THE REASON
With mother Sonia Gandhi taking a back seat, Rahul is now in effective control of the Grand Old Party. With the BJP unlikely to have the numbers in the Rajya Sabha, the Congress remains the fulcrum of any Opposition unity in Parliament.
THE WORK
Even though under him the party has seen a string of electoral reverses, he doesn’t face any major challenge within the party.
THE FUTURE
His long-awaited elevation as Congress president could happen this year.
NOTE: Rahul dabbles in a number of sports. He is a licensed scuba diving instructor, a black belt in Aikido and a squash player. He is currently reading the English translation of the Upanishads.
