Devendra Phadnavis is waiting to be the CM of Maharashtra again
I hope he doesn't. In his 5 years, he destroyed the soul of cities like Mumbai and Pune and had his energies focused on Vidharba (separate states creation) and Nagpur. At present, no matter what others say, I have been impressed by Uddhav Thackerey's handling of the situation in the state.
Nitin Gadkari is the best bet in terms of PM candidature. People have lost in most of the seats where Yogi campaigned in various elections. His failure is overshadowed by the Modi Wave and Shah's brain. He is not the half diplomat Modi is, and his ideologies are very much biased.
One important questions, will Modi go into the 'Margdarshak' committee after he touches 75+ age? Just as he and Amit made other senior BJP leaders to move out of active politics. He is already in committee as the PM Candidate but moving out of active politics is the question.
I agree to a large extent on Gadkari. Gadkari might just be the PM face for 2024. Point to note is that he has a clean image, is seen as a crisis man and is one of the old-timers(circa Pramod Mahajan era). Everyone in the BJP likes him- even the oldies. If the national board cannot to a consensus, he will most likely be their face.
The 75+ age limit should apply. In effect, this will be applied to Ram Nath Kovid this year. By the same logic, Modi should be unable to take the seat in 2024. However, the worrying factor for me is that Amit Shah and Yogi are quite young(as opposed to their image).They are 57 and 49 years old which basically puts them in prime position post Modi.
However, as mentioned above, the RSS controls a major aspect of the BJP and their prominent faces. Hoping to see Mohan Bhagwat making waves in a couple of years time, as the BJP puts a face to their PM candidate.
The narratives of the GANDHI's have to go, it is killing India while its destroying congress completely. Election after Election the Congress has been decimated completely. Rahul Gandhi should hang his head down in shame and should realize he is a nobody in this political world. Just because your belong to a political family does not mean you have that genes.
This sums it up. There have been calls to change the leadership since the last few years. The longer the Gandhis cling on, the quicker the Congress will decimate further. The Congress has some good guys in their ranks. Sachin Pilot, Tharoor, Jayram Ramesh. Remember, most of the goons have already quit Congress. I hope they make a decent comeback- not cause I like them, cause the nation needs a proper opposition.
Being someone completely unaware about the political situation in the country.... Where do you think I should begin from?
10th standard Civics text book. During my time, it used to have all these details
People should vote for someone else to create the opposition. I believe the cons of having BJP in power(the rise of casteism and all hate) outweighs not picking others because they don't look strong .
To be honest, I don't think BJP is gonna let anybody make a strong opposition, they have too much control in media where they change the narrative of the person.
See, this is possible at the state level. The likes of AAP, TMC, Patnaik's party have all gotten their respective leads in the states. However, when it comes to the national level, these guys don't stand a chance.
The likes of AAP started on a strong note. However, Kejriwal has simply turned his attention to New Delhi and not the rest of India. When he started, he had these massive campaigns pan-India and did gather a few followers even in cities like Bangalore. Need to sustain this in order to create a valuable opposition.
