Planning a one to one straight fight in forthcoming general election at this junction may be suicidal for opposition.
It will be a vision, thought driven well organised, greased, trained, unifoccused and resourceful army with a proven general Vs hurriedly ganged up untrained unfocussed, multi vision multi-dimensional crowd without even a head ,mind or heart or even a destination - every one trying his individual best to fight an unassailable army and at the same time trying to book the credit for the victory, should it come  in some or any case, for himself and marginalising all others who are with him.
A  misadventure  in all human probability.
