Who will win Modi or Rahul?

 Kedarnath Temple Disaster is giving an advantage to Modi.  It is amazing the way he has taken advantage of the situation and for being with his native people.  I am reading in the news that NaMo landed there, created a task force, held discussion continuously till early morning with 2 IAS Officers  and an IPS Officer as to how he can help the Gujaratis to reach home safely. This is something commendable and shows his concern for the public who are in trauma. On the other side Rahul Gandhi is not seen anywhere in the scene!!! He just not seen anywhere in the media too. One can argue that Kedarnath Temple issue is related to a State and he may be busy in strategizing as to how  can he take India to next level. Will people of India appreciate this and his absence? 

I always respected and admired politicians on various issues.  I have great respect for Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Atal, Bal Thackery, Sushma Swaraj, Narasimha Rao and recently Jairam Ramesh and Narendra Modi. They led from the front.   We are witnessing the debate that next Prime Minister will be Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi. We know Narendra Modi has very authoritative way of functioning. This is possibly benefit for a State because the complete administrative control is with Chief Minister but  may not be the case when NaMo becomes Prime Minister because very few states are run by BJP. Is he good in working in consensus model?! Now let us consider Rahul.  Though he carries a charm to attract public in his rallies, he disappears from all critical incidents and controversies. A strong Leader need to drive from the front. How can India trust a Leader who does a disappearing act at every critical juncture!

While NaMo is emerging as an undisputed Leader of choice for PM within NDA, Rahul Gandhi needs to travel a long way. Same time, it may not be easy for NaMo  to become the PM as BJP may not get full majority as the internal rivalry may bring down the party. Congress on the other hand has to do some real wonders and godly act to capture the capital once again.

 At this point in time, I am not seeing any political party heading for clear majority. Meantime,  let us enjoy M-ODI - one day international of Modi till Rahul jumps in to the fray with a 20/20 series.
