Except that so called reasonable sometimes means nothing. At that time people root for strong self made politicians. RaGa has grey beard and is still a Mama's boy. Modi on the other climbed the ladder by himself. Similar case is in Pak. (IK vs Bilawal)
Its a good analysis, but an unfair comparison.
Modi climbed up the ladder of an established organisations, RSS/BJP, it has existed in one form or another for nearly a hundred years. He played his cards right and climbed upwards, especially on the basis of hate.
He is nothing but a political player, a dime a dozen, he is merely the one who reached the top of a political pill of rubbish, hardly unusual, definitely not special.
Imran on the other hand, emerged from outside of the political class, created an entirely new party on his own, fought in the political wilderness for nearly two decades, ultimately his efforts paid off. He made some deals along the way, but that's politics. Ultimately, the journey was of his own making, and he cleared his own path.
Modi merely climbed a path already cleared, and within a formal structure. The difference is night and day.
Rahul is never going to be the PM of India in my opinion. But he is increasingly on an upper flight trajectory, both personally and spiritually. He will eventually become the darling of the masses. That I'm increasingly convinced about. No politicking. Humanism. I think he is reinventing his party. Let us see. I love Modi. And I love Rahul too. Both seem to have their hearts in the right place.
The biggest compliment in recent times Rahul got is from Amit Shah. Who appreciated the parishram he was putting in. And that parishram with a clean heart always bears fruit in Indian politics.
I agree entirely with your analysis of Rahul, very astute.
Still, I do like him, not as a leader, because it has nothing to do with me, and I simply couldn't care less, but to me he comes across as someone with a clean heart, in my view that has value.
