: father triggered the telecom revolution. He envisioned the future when others were mired in the status quo. He pulled together the relevant experts and gave them the space to think and experiment. Had he been alive today he could have taken justifiable pride at the radical transformation that his early initiatives had wrought. The question that motivated me to write this letter was, “is it not possible that you might catalyse an equally radical and durable transformation of the energy system?”

Dear Editor,This refers to Vikram S Mehta's open letter to Rahul Gandhi (FE 05.08.08).Mr Mehta has spelt out lucidly and clearly the agenda for the energy "mission" as well as the "vision" document for the future energy security needs of our country highlighting the need for a reliable, clean and affordable form of energy.Will Rahul take the lead ? Definitely,he should and like Indira Gandhi's famous 20 point programme, he should champion the need for and plan for and implement just One Point Energy Programme with the help of a forum of like minded persons and bodies .He has youth in his favour and his convincing performance during the vote of confidence episode has won him many admirers.Like his illustrious father Rajiv who drew a progress map for the country's good and his uncle Sanjay who earned the sobriquet of "The Man Who Got Things Done" (during the infamous emergency days) it is hoped that Rahul can surely don the mantle of "Energy Champion" and become "The Man Who Implemented Energy Security Plans" THIS MISSION IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE !! - J.S.BROCA New DelhiBG 7/92 Paschim Vihar New Delhi 63
