As the election season draws close, there will be no shortage of challenges for Rahul Gandhi, the vice-president of the Congress, and most likely its candidate for prime minister. Gandhi’s campaign, though seemingly energetic, has been almost smothered by the rally tour of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Though Modi has detractors within his own party, including the formidable Sushma Swaraj, they have been more or less silent for the larger interest of the party. This is helping the BJP put up a united front in the elections, as was evidenced when the party chose Dr Harsh Vardhan over Vijay Goel as its chief minister candidate for the Delhi elections. There was not a murmur of public dissent, however, strong the private bickering may have been.
