The strategist and political leader who planned the war and the scholar, seer and the lifestyle adviser who motivated Arjuna and shook him out of inaction and depression to a valiant warrior. Krishna's roles are entirely different.
When you are talking about the military-strategist Krishna and not about the Master motivator Krishna, You may agree or disagree about the methods of war adopted..
However, the principles laid down in Gita, and the magic it works on Arjuna and on millions of people who read Gita even to this day, is undoubtedly sublime and matchless. If you disagree on the greatness of Bhagavat Gita, I have to disagree with you, and I will have large number of people who would support me.
The personal enmity between Duryodhana and Krishna or Krishna’s partiality if any in favour of Arjuna and the Pandavas is not at all the subject matter of either Gita or this discussion.
In fact, there is even a debate among scholars as to whether; the Krishna of Brindaban, Krishna of Mahabharata War and Krishna of Gita are the same. Some even doubt whether a long debate Between Krishna and Arjuna, a discourse of the magnitude and depth as found in Gita spanning eighteen chapters and seven hundred shlokas could ever have been delivered at the start of a war, in a battlefield.
