Narendra Modi's urban popularity, to my mind, will not translate to a decisive pan India mandate. He is far too controversial and large sections of rural as well as East, South and pockets of North India will not vote for him. Traditional Congress voters, want to vote out corruption are now in a dilemma. Also by pitting him against Rahul Gandhi - well that is a downgrade for NaMo.
BJP should have instead chosen Sushma Swaraj to lead them. Well respected both within and outside the BJP and deservedly so. Very principled, knowledgeable and politically savvy as well. And made this into a Sushma v/s Sonia battle.
And about time, we have a woman leading this country again...
