Being a veteran of electoral battles, Modi will definitely have a huge advantage over Rahul in case it becomes a clash between two opersonalities – Rahul and Modi and it has been indicated by many surveys in the recent times.


Rahul and his advisors are well aware of this ground reality. So is it just a posturing on part of Rahul's team  to ensure that the 2014 battle does not pit a political greenhorn like Rahul Gandhi against a master Politician like Narendra Modi?
 
Or Rahul just spoke his heart out? His body language definitely does not match with that of a passionate politician. He has seen how politics ruined his family.
