Rahul Gandhi slept in the open in rural India and sharing simple meals of lentil curry with bread and rural poor, and even arrested for joining a protest related to farmers in the land.
Try a descendant of the family of Nehru - Gandhi India last year that portrayed himself as a man of the people. Wore a simple fashion and launched his beard to appear more coarse as he was waging campaigns of non-stop for the ruling Congress party in Uttar Pradesh, a state wide area of the Ganges River and travels home to 200 million more than the population of Brazil.
Gandhi said, 41-year-old to a crowd of rural in-one among more than 200 election rally in the state, "I want to Alsni mosquitoes as it does with you until I understand your pain."
But this strategy did not work.
As the vote count last week showed that the Congress Party, he received only 28 seats out of 403 seats in the state legislature so to occupy the fourth place.
Was seen to perform the Gandhi as a test of suitability to assume the reins of the party of the patient and his mother Sonia Gandhi, Italian-born eventually becomes prime minister in the state to keep the Congress party and its allies to power in national elections scheduled for 2014.
This result came as a bitter blow for the family first in India in the same state that brighten the star as a beacon of freedom before independence from Britain in 1947.
It was another blow to the party became united with the Gandhi family more united with thought or political convictions.
Won first place Samaj Wadi party (Socialist), a grouping founded by a former wrestler does not exceed his popularity Uttar Pradesh.
Previously, the Congress Party was defeated in the face of regional parties were more often closer to local issues but the way to deal with Gandhi's election campaign in Uttar Pradesh and even from his inability to fight an election portends major problems for the party.
Said Rasheed Kidwai, who wrote the biography of Sonia Gandhi, "the Congress party in decline ... The problem with Congress is that it is not looking for leaders outside the Gandhi family. There are no research institution within the party there was no longer big ideas."
Despite all the talk about the need for change, the response was to rally the party behind the Gandhi and insist that there is no error in this strategy.
Said Sachin Pilot, a Minister of State at the Ministry and the Federal Communications inner circle to the family of Gandhi "politically afford (Rahul) responsibility for the poor performance of the party because he led the (battle) from the front. This is what leaders do."
"It is clear that he was disappointed, but I do not think he has determination ... all look forward to working with Rahul Gandhi in the future so there is no change on that front. This does not change the agenda of the party, or what we stand for. It's a setback but not a defeat. "
For decades, Gandhi family has been dominant in the largest democratic country in the world.
The family took the prime minister and leader of the Congress party a reflection of the way of governance of the monarchy in England. The assassination of Indira Gandhi gave the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru leader when she was prime minister in 1984 and his grandson, Rajiv when he was waging his campaign in 1991, aura-like tragic Bahalh surrounding the Kennedy family in the United States.
But for now, the homage Gandhi family and her secretive subsides in a country where aspirations changed after a decade of spectacular economic growth.
Books or. J. largest, a former member of parliament for the Congress Party was of the people into confidence for the family of Gandhi in the newspaper Aandia Today says "family .. In these times of equality .. no longer behind the logic appropriate for the job," he said, adding that the Congress Party "Either be a national moratorium or family ownership, not both."
And became of the promises that cut the weight of regional parties with a lot of voters more than the promises of the Congress party which is seen as a separate and far from reality and adheres to the past. He made little effort only candidates appearing in the rallies and talk about Gandhi's name and the delivery of subsidies to the poor.
And will add a humiliating defeat in the state of Uttar Pradesh - and in Latin and two of the four other states fought the elections - More trouble for the coalition government led by the Congress Party at a time when the country is heading towards the general elections, scheduled in two years.
This defeat has raised speculation in New Delhi about the possibility of forcing Congress to fight early election but strange logic of the opposition parties may prefer to wait for further developments.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was the mastermind of the reforms launched in 1991 and which has achieved economic recovery in India is already a lame duck before the latest blow. His government suffered from corruption scandals and parties allied with the mercury positions strongly support you need. It does not provide a lot of political risk and away from reforms that could give the economy a boost to the front.
It is likely that the Congress party back to see him again based on the old social democracy even closer to the rural masses.
Also likely that Congress tends to populist policies during the period preceding the 2014 elections, which means more spending on social programs such as the promise of providing food security for all.

Said Saeed Naqvi, a fellow at the Observer Research Foundation and a veteran journalist "will rally behind the Congress party, Rahul ... this party that does not give up easily on its leader."
But Naqvi ridiculed the political history of Rahul Gandhi, adding that during the nearly eight years as a member of parliament, the main contribution has been a two-page statement read by his own corruption. Naqvi said "This is a complete and deliberate fraud on the country."
Rahul Gandhi and the maturity of a speaker is already in his campaign and increased confidence in the long speeches and strong. Seemed increasingly relaxed in the state of Uttar Pradesh, directed his speech to tens of thousands in the Indian public to the people of the region.
