Modi has the TINA factor
BJP is Modi and Modi is BJP. He is sole factor even in States’ elections -he mostly addresses political rallies for all the candidates of BJP in State’s elections as if no candidate is worth the seat he is contesting for! Modi still has a political advantage though he has started losing some public faith as desired results-his promises are not met to the public satisfaction. But still Modi (BJP) will continue to win in overall majority in many States -not that it deserves but because there just does seems not have an enough strong-promising and outstanding contender.
The time is not ripe for the Congress as still Rahul Gandhi needs more political shrewdness. First, he must prove his position as a stronger opposition leader with his behaviour and speeches with an approval of public at large, which he lacks altogether now. And no other political party / leader is seen as competent candidate of public choice. Whatever votes in favour of Congress -Rahul will be the result of anti-incumbency factor only!
