I stopped voting for the Congress after 1984, but this is an unusual election. Anyone who asks this silly question - what is the alternative - shows they have not understood the threat to the country if BJP continues. The country and the Constitution are an alternative
But as a matter of fact, i think Rahul Gandhi is a serious alternative. He is polite, generally has his heart in the right place, has not overseen mass murder, has not wreaked havoc on the economy through demon etc.
