Well written article. I for one would love to see well conducted debates between Indian politicians on TV.

RaGa is the LOP, isn’t he? I would prefer someone who could talk policy instead of him but who can claim to represent the opposition better than him?
In any case, I would love to see Modi debate somebody. All his interviewers seem to treat him with kid gloves. All politicians should be asked to clarify their positions, share their vision and asked difficult questions; not just before elections but during their terms.
Debate should be between 2 prime ministerial candidates. shouldn’t it be? You cannot just pick any random person who is fighting an election and ask PM to debate him.
Is Rahul Gandhi congress’s PM candidate? No. Is he congress president? No. is he leader of opposition? No? Then what rational it have for him debating PM? Because he don’t have any responsibility but he want debate.
If he want to debate PM, let him say he is prime ministerial candidate of congress. Till than shut up!
And about talking Uk’s system or USA’s debate system – It always has been between 2 presidential candidates or 2 leaders(party head) of parties (labour and tory).
And guess what Rahul Gandhi isn’t either of them. Neither is he a prime ministerial candidate nor is a party president.
You can write all you want and think you are making a great point but deep down even you know your trying to make a rhetorical point until Rahul Gandhi have any of above mention post.
