What it takes to challenge Modi in 2019 elections
With Modi now emerging as the be all and end all of BJP and NDA government, the 2019 elections have to be fought by the opposition parties in India against Modi as a person and individual
The biggest advantage for Modi today is that Rahul is being projected as his challenger in 2019 election by the Congress party.
Rahul is a product of dynasty and he happens to be what he is today only because he is the member of the Nehru family. There may be many people in Congress party who can be far better than Rahul as a politician and leader but such persons can have only position in the second line of leadership at the most in this family controlled party. The fact is that by unquestioningly accepting the leadership of Rahul, every other leader in the Congress party inevitably looks smaller than him in a condition , where Rahul himself does not look a leader par excellence.
The congress men have reduced themselves to such a level by accepting family leadership that many people sarcastically remark that if Nehru family product Rahul and Priyanka were to refuse to accept the leadership position of the Congress party, then Priyanka’s children who may be less than fifteen year old would be elected as the President of the Congress party !
The reluctance of the opposition parties to accept Rahul as a common Prime Ministerial candidate to challenge Modi is understandable , given the image of Rahul. The fact is that the opposition parties may be willing to accept someone else from the Congress party if the party can find a person strong enough to challenge Modi.
The ball is now in the court of the Congress party. Second line of leadership in the Congress party should start asserting itself and demand a leader other than family representative Rahul, who has the charisma and vision to challenge Modi and who may be acceptable to the other opposition parties.
The Congress party has to search inward and a honest search may enable it to arrive at a proper choice to challenge Modi.

A healthy competition is doubtlessly always constructive, but then would one really wish to alter the course an ascending curve of the country's current development, by looking at an alternative to the present mode of governance? more

Indian National Congress is a pale shadow of its glorious past. Already pushed into insignificance , anointment of Rahul Gandhi as its President is hastening its demise. Other than Punjab , they are indeed on a very sticky wicket. more

I agree with Mr Venkata Ramana ji. But sorry to say where is INC ? Factually INC collapsed during Indira ji regime, present Congress is AICC(I) which Congress never say. Congress leaders always say 135 years old Congress which totally false. Anybody can count how old is Congress . Party baseedon faaalsehood cannot put up better leader . Rahul ji love for India is fight election here and then run away to Italy . Can anybody explain why all the time after every event here he runs away . As far as better leaders are concerned there are people who can lead from the front and can challenge Modi ji but chamchas like Sibbal, Digi Raja, and so on will not allow to happen for example J scindhia, S pilot and...are better than Khadge ji but they were not in the forefront. So Congress should ponder and decide. more
