It is the story of two wannabe's. One a reluctant prince. Other, an unshamed Don Quixote.
Rahul Gandhi and Narender Modi are two colours at the opposite ends of the political spectrum. Both draw their inspiration from a vision of resurgent India. Shining India, if I may.
Both are strategist, or at least profess to be strategist. Rahul started and ended his corporate career as a long term corporate strategy consultant. Modi asserts he has a blueprint of national development pinned on his drawing board.
Rahul kickstarted his plan to revivify the Grand Old Lady of Indian politics by initiating corporate style workshops. His plans were restricted by the unwieldy Congress. His elbow room for manoeuvre was narrow. Party traditions and stalwarts breathed heavily down his neck. Rahul's vision is blurred and he still lacks a clearly etched vision document.He still is trying to gather and understand the pieces of the problem that is India, and that of Congress itself.
His election gameplan grew and evolved, as he himself grew and evolved. Getting roughed by his opponents and media, Rahul himself steadily shrugged off his moralistic posture and became more belligerent.
