Rahul Vs Modi – Clash Of The Titans In 2014
There is lots of chat and discussion in media and groups about the heated politics in India these days. UPA government is trapped from all side due to the scams exposing in last couple of years. Common Wealth Games scam of Rs. 70000 crores after that 2G Spectrum scam of about Rs. 1.56 Lacs Crores and now Coal Gate scam of Rs. 1.86 Lacs Crores. Day by day UPA government is intruding and over these scams, non government organizations and personalities like Team Anna and Baba Ramdev with their social issues like Lokpal bill against corruption and black money have implemented more weight to intrude more. According to some experts it is predicted that the general election which was planned in 2014 could be pre conducted and therefore opposition party BJP is not leaving any issue to push government on back foot.
Now whether election is going to held in 2014 or earlier, one problem is common with both parties is that their candidate for election in 2014. Some informal sources revealed that this election BJP is not going to take chance with Lal Krishan Advani therefore it will present its most prominent figure Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as their candidate for Prime Minister. Though this is not formal or final decision but after L. K. Advani there are no such heavy weights in the party that could head BJP to victory and therefore it is nearly considered that Narendra modi due to his dominant personality and developmental figure is best suited for PM. Whereas Congress is criticizing BJP for presenting Narendra Modi as PM candidate but they are also not clear with their side as after Manmohan Singh’s ridiculous and mismanaged term as Prime Minister it is sure that they will not again present him as their leader in 2014.
Though there are numerous big leaders in Congress but no one suits better for PM as almost every one of them have failed to succeed in their ministry and work. After Pranab Mukharjee is being appointed as President they have only one option to present Rahul Gandhi as their candidate for PM in 2014. Though this is very unjustified and risky decision because till now Rahul Gandhi has not taken active part in government and do not hold any responsible post and also in UP election 2012 he lead Congress and this was the worst experience for them as they lost badly and also lose in their major parliamentary area, Rae Bareily where Congress has never lost any seat.
Now every where there is only one talk Rahul Vs Modi in this general election 2014. Though this is very unfair comparision as we cannot compare Rahul Gandhi with Narendra Modi because Narendra Modi is a very prominent leader and has been governing Gujarat since last 12 years whereas rahul Gandhi has still not entered the main stream politics therefore it is not good to hand over such as important and prominent post of Prime Minister to him without any political experience. Lets compare both of them on different grounds and resolve Rahul Vs Modi.
