    The opposition should project a candidate for PM other than Rahul, then they will have a chance to defeat Modi. Remember what BJP did in 2014, if they had gone ahead with Advani, they would not have won the elections.

    While I dont believe these orchestrated surveys ..I am of the firm belief that if not for Modi India would have been in a miserable state because of Sonia led Congress ..
    Modi will rule for another term to see the results of structural changes that he has done .
    The highway condition is a real testimonial to a functional central govt.I can distinctly remember the condition of NH66 passing through Mangalore ..during the congress regime ..It was pathetic
    Everybody big noise about pumpwell ..Now that it is completed everybody is silent ..Not even a single word of appreciation for Mr NAleen Kumar Kateels work .Same goes to the Gurpura Bridge ..The work should have been done atleast 25 years back by the congress ,..they did not and had to pay the price ..
    It will still loose as long as they project Rahul Gandhi as their leader ..its an easy walkover for the BJP.

    Did Rahul handled any ministry in Central Govt during time congress rule ( 2004-2014) ....???
    Answer NO
    Is he seasoned Politician like his Grandma or Great Grand Pa....????
    Answer : .NO
    He got best Opportunity to hold & handle junior level ministry during the time of MM Singh and prove him self as able leader and administrator, but avoided himself from taking responsibility. Its irony that Gandhi family want only PM Post. They forgot that Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi was not came PM Post directly. She was handling normal ministry post during the time of Nehru and Lal Bahadur Shastri.
