Rahul Gandhi or Narendra Modi?

Rahul Gandhi is obvious leader of the congress party and this fact has been known since years but now the party has taken one step forward projecting him the unanimous choice for the Prime Ministerial candidate by making him Vice President of the organisation. Till now he was mobilizing the youth of the country and establishing the direct rapport with the remotest people through his visits. Meanwhile he did fail many times to prove himself as a clean finisher during the elections.For example Uttar Pradesh from where largest number of MPs and MLAs compare to other states. Inspite of putting in every possible effort Congress lost to Akhilesh Yadav led SP. Where words of Rahul Gandhi proved as exaggeration and nothing Akhilesh did the work on ground level and picked the right issues. This is enough to make of that words will not do for the common man. Words cannot feed them, it cannot provide them shelter, cannot assure them for their children's education. The difference between BJP and Congress from the 2014 general election point of view is that congress will project the leader who will come up with consensus among the alliance and internally in the party too. But in case of BJP no single leader is seem to be getting the privilege of getting elected unanimously. Although with few opposition coming from the party members Narendra Modi is being projected as the strong candidate for upcoming election. whereas outside BJP he doesn't hold much ground because Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who is known as his staunch opponent has publicly made statements on Modi that if BJP would project him as candidate then in that case JD(U) will have no option but back out. Other regional party and long time member of NDA, BJD's Navin Patnayak too doesn't have much to offer Modi. After the exit of Nitin Gadkari the way has become a bit easier for Modi because now he has got a helping hand in Rajnath Singh. So if he has to be in the forefront in the race of prime ministerial candidate then he will have to talk more to his opponents than to friends.
