Rahul Gandhi vs Narendra Modi – The Choice Is obvious - Its #MITOA

Here is my reply to Mr. Sanjay Jha's post " Rahul Gandhi vs Narendra Modi" on HamaraCongress.com 

























Rahul Gandhi vs Narendra Modi – The Choice Is obvious - Its #MITOA
Rahul Gandhi Narendra Modi Comments by HamaraCongress.com My Take
Age 42 62 Gandhi best represents the aspirations of a young dynamic and evolving India! Age is just a number. The nationwide appeal Shri Narendra Modi enjoys is much more than Raul
Current Office Twice MP & General Secretary – Indian National Congress Twice Chief Minister of Gujarat One has national-level pan-India experience, the other is a regional satrap albeit a powerful one. Modi has greater administrative experience Two time MP - uses not over 6% of his MP funds for development of his consistency, while world acknowledges the development record of Three Time CM (Two Full Terms)
Political Philosophy Democratic, secular, liberal, pro-poor Autocratic, parochial , fascist, pro-rich Modi’s politics have been fissiparous, even embarrassing the RSS. And he threatens India’s social fabric itself. Narendra Modi believes in Development of all, Appeasement of None
Media Relationships Respects media,  keeps low-profile, no unnecessary plugs and PR Desperately courts media, makes events out of nothing. Hype over substance. Modi seems insecure, rattled by recent acutely awkward revelations. Perception matters, but this is desperation. Modi has been vilified and maligned deliberately for more than 10 years - still he treats media quite well
Visa Status Welcomed all over the world Barred from entering USA for human rights violations, death of 2000 innocent people The Gujarat massacres have left an indelible stigma. His unapologetic stance has accentuated matters. A diplomatic embarrassment Raul Vinci has rape charges against him and case is still on in Supreme Court of India. It is also said that he was caught at Boston Airport with unaccounted cash and drugs
Corruption Charges NIL Rs. 26000 crores in latest CAG reports, several other violations ( subsidized land etc) could make that number look  like a pygmy Modi once paraded an “ incorruptible image”. That is now exposed as a massive fraud. Corruption reigns unchecked CAG report doesn’t say anything about corruption. Whereas it is well known fact Raul Vinci's fees for so-called education was paid thru offshore accounts and his father was featured in  Schweizer Illustrierte in Nov 1991 issue as one of the leading corrupt person of the world
Cases under active investigation NONE Several cases against the Modi govt include fake encounter killings, subversion of justice, and Godhra , of course . Cases had to be transferred out of  Gujarat; a monumental shame Serious allegations for any CM to pretend to wash them away.  Don’t forget, former President of Egypt Hosni Mubarak was sentenced /held guilty for “ failing to prevent” deaths SukanyaDevi Rape Case against Raul Vinci is still on goin in Supreme Court while SIT has already issued CleanChit to Shri Narendra Modi.
Respect for law Fully Accused of intimidating bureaucrats ,  influencing SIT, manipulating witnesses Modi’s respect for democratic , civil society is abominable. He could destroy democratic institutions Raul Vinci replies to Supreme Court notices after a year, his supporters and minister hit opposers in open and he has full respect of law ? In Gujarat Law has taken its due course and SIT has given Clean Chit to Shri Narendra Modi
Sprit of Leadership Has strengthened Youth Congress from grass-roots; the process of direct entry for youngsters is on. Took responsibility for UP results, even if it was a collective responsibility Is disruptive,  has split BJP /RSS into factions as well as the NDA itself.  Gujarat BJP itself has rebelled against him Modi lacks the ability to create a consensus. National leader? Spirit of Leadership of Raul Vinci has been demonstrated in Bihar, Tamil Nadu and UP assembly elections. Fake Youth CONGRESS members have been identified in Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Punjab Narendra Modi has shown whata leader means by his developmental works
Lust for power Despite repeated chorus to become  PM, has patiently worked hard for the party. Respects the PM Manmohan Singh immensely . Is a team-player Desperate for power. Quotes opinion polls, foreign magazines like TIME to buttress his cause You judge this for yourself!!! Raul wants to become extra-contitutional authority without any responsibility like his Mother. While leadership qualities of Narendra Modi have been endorsed world over; How can Rahul Gandhi be given power who has no aspiration to serve people
Marital Status Single Married; but  pretends otherwise Immoral, unethical personal conduct Columbian Girlfriends, Afghani Girlfriends are assets of Raul Vinci. The so-called Marriage of Narendra Modi was a child marriage
Development credo Accepts India has a long way to go despite high GDP growth, and India’s super-power economic status achieved under UPA . Gap between Bharat and India needs to be bridged On most comparable growth criteria, Gujarat struggles behind other states/ national average.  Inherited a developed state. Gujaratis are intelligent, hard-working, good businessmen anyway; Modi just takes credit Modi alters  facts and figures to suit his own political ends. Highly unprofessional and questionable It is the Central Congress Govt which had fudged export figures and is doing it on regular basis. Growth Rate has gone below 6% under UPA, while it is worldwide known fact that Gujarat is growing at 10% +
Milestones Under UPA- landmark legislations have happened;  – RTI, RTE, MNREGA, NRHM, Aadhar, Lok Pal bill ; high GDP growth, Doubling of Per capital Income, reduction in poverty etc Vibrant Gujarat was a total hoax, and the promised investments barely trickled in. Patchy track-record UPA has not marketed itself well perhaps, but Modi has taken the country for a ride Kindly note, In the achievement list of Rahul Gandhi, the hoax list is not his personal so called achievement but of UPA, of which Rahul Gandhi is not part either in cabinet or EGOMS, where as Modi, has personally headed the achievement list of Gujarat. 
Vision of the future Of a strong, united, equitable,  pluralistic, stable and fast-growing India The whole foundation is on shaky ground. He has alienated vast sections of India’s weaker minorities Gandhi’s vision encompasses all Indians, Modi’s is at best blurred and bigoted Widely proven - Raul Vinci lacks vision while Narendra Modi has vision to make Hindusthan a developed Country
Corruption Senior minister of UPA  was jailed, including  Suresh Kalmadi. CMs and senior leaders resigned when allegations leveled. Passed historic RTI Act that has been India’s game-changer law. Modi avoids appointing Lok Ayukta ,  prevented discussions on CAG, has resisted transparency Modi has protected corrupt ministers of his government with extraordinary impunity. Poor credibility on corruption UPA leaders were jailed for corruption after SC started monitoring CBI investigations. RTI was NDA's brainchild. The appointment of Lok Ayukta in Gujarat is on hold because of non-coperation of Leader of Opposition and Congress Governor
Oratory Gandhi is soft spoken, focused, raises fundamental issues and speaks from his heart. Above all, his speeches are  inclusive in nature, like his political philosophy Modi is a powerful orator, and packs in a lot of punch. But as his speech in Mumbai showed, his vitriol , bitterness and content ( Nirmal Baba obsessed) reduces impact to near zero. While Gandhi talks substance that he deems relevant, Modi is like a media-trained soundbyte man, repetitive , predictable and usually foul. Haven't seen Raul raise his voice on issues of national importance. At the most he has said - Humne Paisa Bheja Tha - Haathi Kha Gaya or similar statements. There is no dearth of national issues raised by Narendra Modi. And in oration, less said abt Raul, the better
Theatrics What you see is what you get. He once put on a farcical theatrical performance and got himself admitted to a local civil hospital to get his assembly seat of choice . Incredibly ridiculous stuff! Can India really afford such entertainment-inspiring funny characters who are capable of silly cameos to aim for New Delhi? You got to be joking! The author of the blog has forgotten Ms Kalavati of Maharashtra, game-changer ideas about Lokpal and Lots of Dalits of UP whose one-time meal was snatched by Raul. 
Twitter followers He is not on Twitter. Zero followers. Several Modi-inclined columnists talk of his Twitter power. Modi has 756, 064 followers as of morning of July 12 2012 But  first Mr Modi needs to overtake Congress MP Shashi Tharoor himself who has twice Modi’s followers at 1, 406, 921. If Mr. Raul Vinci is not on twitter, then its not fault of Shri Modi. Nobody is stopping him from joining twitter. Is the author talking about same Shashi Tharoor who calls common men as cattle class and who had resign from KOCHI IPL Team for sweat equity issue
Frankly despite the cacophonous rabble-rousers, turbo-charged PR machinery , slavish Sunday columnists and immaculate market ” positioning”, how can a great country like India even contemplate Narendra Modi as a Prime Minister ever??? GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT is Visible in Gujarat. Its high time now this growth is extended to Hindusthan - Always remember - #MITOA - pronounced as MITWA, means "a friend" and expanded as "MODI IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE"


Friends now you can take a call who is more eligible to become Prime Minister. Raul Vinci or Narendra Modi?


Would love to have your feedback
