6 disadvantages of Rahul Gandhi compared to Narendra Modi

New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi is leaving no stone unturned in emerging as a true alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Unfortunately, there are certain facts that put him at disadvantage compared to PM Modi.Let's have a look at 6 such disadvantages that Rahul faces in comparison to Narendra Modi.1.Social media presenceRahul Gandhi is not so active on social media, which is one of the major disadvantages RaGa has vis-a-vis NaMo. Social Media is one of the major platforms of communication in today's world. Rahul, however, has recently started communicating on Twitter with @OfficeOfRG which is the official handle of his office. It's a good start but it lacks personal touch.Narendra Modi, on the other hand, is very active on social media and he has used it to the hilt for connecting with masses especially youth of this country. His social media strategy played a crucial role in 2014 Lok Sabha elections which saw Modi- led NDA registering a massive win with BJP getting a simple majority on its own.2. Comparision with Priyanka GandhiThere is group within Congress party that believes that Priyanka could be a better candidate to lead the party given her ability to connect directly with the masses. This group has always demanded the entry of Priyanka Gandhi into active politics. Priyanka Gandhi who shows reflexes of her Grandmother Indira Gandhi is increasingly been seen as an alternative to Rahul in the party.Narendra Modi, however, does not face any such challenge in the BJP. The party, from highest to lowest level, has accepted NaMo as their leader.3. Role Of Sonia GandhiSonia Gandhi, as the longest serving President of Congress, has led the party to success in two consecutive general elections and that's why many Congress workers prefer Sonia to lead rather than passing over the baton to Rahul.Congress party's massive defeat in 2014 Lok Sabha elections that was informally led by Rahul Gandhi has diminished his credibility in the party. His leadership quality has been questioned by senior leaders of his own party.On the other hand, Narendra Modi has successfully lead the party from the front. He has proved himself as a winner right from his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister. He won Gujarat elections for three consecutive times before winning 2014 Lok Sabha elections.4. Lack of administrative experience Rahul Gandhi got into active politics in the year 2004 while Narendra Modi has been in politics since 1988 . Narendra Modi has served the state of gujrat as chief minister from 2001-2012. Narendra Modi has been regarded as one of the smart players in the game of politics where Rahul Gandhi is often been called as a child. NaMo holds better administrative experience than that of RaGa.In fact, many senior Congress leaders had advised Rahul to join the cabinet of Manmohan Singh but he refused to do so. Rahul Gandhi has no administrative experience till this date.5. Reluctant politicianRahul Gandhi is considered a reluctant politician. Unlike Modi, Rahul's record does not send the message the his is passionate about politics. RaGa has seen hitting the oppontents very rarely when required. Recently he was found missing from budget session of the 16th Loksabha and went on for a vacation for 57 months which was not expected from a person who should have led the party in Lok Sabha.Narendra Modi, on the other hand, is a full time politician. Politics is his single point mission. It gives him a distinct advantage over Rahul Gandhi.6. Silver Spoon ChildBelonging to a family of Prime Ministers, from Jawaharlal Nehru to Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi is often seen as ignorant of the hardship that a common man faces in India. His image of a child born with silver spoon puts him at a disadvantage vis-a-vis Narendra Modi.Narendra Modi's image, on the other hand, is that of a tea seller who worked hard to reach the seat of Prime Minister. He is seen as a self made man with no pedigree to boast of.
