Hype around Rahul Gandhi

Considering the recent hype around him with many sections wanting him to be the next prime minister, I am still confused why is there such a hype. Mostly I hear about such talks from netizens and from tours of Rahul Gandhi in various universities across India. But what has he really done for the country? Take out his youth, his charm, his education and his talks; what has he actually 'done' to be even considered for the post. Are the people now such that they choose prime ministers based on how charming they are? Or is the condition of politics in India so hopeless that any fresh face is welcome? This may be the case for some though I dont personally agree. Similar is the case of Obama. Take out his charm his speeches and what has he really done? Even after becoming the president what significant action has he taken till now? I mean by action something that any normal person (not considering Bush) would not have done. Compared to Rahul I would prefer Advani even though I hate that man. At least he has been involved with country since long (could have been involved in much better way though).
