As per BJP traditions, the party head must retire or get sidelined at the age of 75. So will his successor be a moderate individual or an even more narcissistic or autocratic politician
====

The real issue is whether Modi is as good as his word. If you look at the fact that Mr Advani and others were retired or sidelined or made margdarshaks because they were older than 75, then logically speaking, based on the same logic and Mr Modi's own words, he should be paving way for others at 75.

If that happens, there are three questions. First is, if Mr Modi is not there, what happens to Modi ki guarantee or Madi’s guarantee which has been a theme in this campaign? That means if he is not there, how can anybody be held accountable for the guarantees he gives? That is the first question. If he does not do that and stays on and becomes the prime minister, let us say, and fulfils or tries to fulfil his words, there are issues of integrity. Should we believe a person who says that he will retire at 75 but will not? So, I do not know.

You can always argue that these things only matter to the certain discerning middle class, people who are looking for people as good as their words or that jumla as part of politics as phrases being thrown or slogans being thrown, but to the extent that Mr Modi's legacy and personality stands for acclaimed, sticking to the words, guarantees to be fulfilled and a certain amount of character that will create peculiar questions and that needs to be answered by the party, not in terms of the party's constitution but in terms of concepts of integrity in public life.

 
BJP-RSS is bigger than Modi, I understand that will be hard for Congress and Dynasty supporters in India and any Pakistani to understand, in due time he will be sidelined just like Vajpayee, Advani etc etc were.
 
If Jay Shah is his successor (which would be anyway) then it's better that he remains in power.
 
You mean modi leaving or modi era?
Stability that Modi brought was unparalleled , look at Pakistan Lanka BD have to consistently look for funds from Zionists systems, India doesn’t need to.

There are 100 issues but he was better than the alternative

Definitely a top person, but he trusted Vajpayee more than Gandhi family that is running his party now.

N Rao itself got all recognition under Modi government including the prestigious Bharat Ratna, imagine BJP actually gave the best leader of opposition the award, and not congress when they were in power.

This itself shows why Indians can actually trust BJP and not Gandhi clowns.
 
Modi will leave a power vacuum and India will implode.

To give credit where it is due, Modi will be remembered as the OG Hindutva terrorist - the Butcher of Gujrat - the only terrorist to be banned from entering the USA/UK on religious grounds.

No other Hindutva/RSS terrorist comes close to his street creds.
 
Our greatest ever Prime Minister

Arguably the Greatest Hindu of the last 100 years

Luckily he looks in very good health and seems fine to serve us for another 5 years comfortably at the bare minimum. Should remain PM for as long as he is capable to do it actively.

You're kidding, right? Why would you put him ahead of a physics Nobel Laureate like C.V. Raman?

Doubt he'll stand aside. He's a typical power hungry politician so what's good for the goose definitely won't be good enough for the gander.

I'd prefer him not to anyway. He's increasingly turning into a figurehead and has a decent bunch of technocrats in Jaishankar, Nirmala Seetharaman, Gadkari and co running key ministries so it doesn't matter too much even if he gets a bit senile.
 
There's a big chance Modi will not be the PM candidate in next general elections. Yogi may succeed him.

But i want him to fight one more General elections and win. Govern for half the term and then bring a successor to govern the rest.
 
Or Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
Netaji was, is, and will always remain my greatest Indian hero ever. My now deceased father basically worshipped the man. Neither Gandhi, nor Nehru were good enough to kiss his feet.

I want him as the PM candidate for the next elections. Will be terribly disappointed if it doesn't happen.
 
India as nations will always progress no matter who is the PM regardless of any party.

Not a Modi or BJP fans but he did some good things

1) Construction of Ram temple

2) removal of article 370 from jammu and kashmir and bring peace and prosperity in the valley.


This is what i like the most as an Indian .
 
Oh yeah ? Would you bet money on this statement if Puppu was the PM of India ?
India has strong institutions.

Even if a leader you dislike comes to power there is only so much damage he can do.

If public dislike him he will be gone in a few years and his party will be too.

It is a wonderful system and actually surprises me how well it works because given the size and scale of India, the diversity and potential fracture points, it keeps going.

Jay Shah is not even a BJP member.
Unless you are talking about his father, Amit Shah.

And 'better ' for whom? Indians or Pakistanis/Bangladeshis?

India will choose whoever it wants. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis should be dealing with their mess instead of worrying about India.

To be honest, we have seen a lot worse than Puppu. We have had clowns to outright traitors like Moraji Desai, V.P.Singh, I.K.Gujral etc etc.
 
I will like to see gadkari for next pm post.he is quite good,corrupt free and able administrator. He is a centre right / left among right like pv , vajpayee .He concentrates only on development and other positive factors.

I don't think we reached that stage atleast in financial matters.u can recollect the famous "policy paralysis" during upa 2 .after lots of scams they did not had any stomach to take decisions in financial areas and dragged every decision. It created a dull market. From 2012 every one from business perspective just waited for their ouster

Same scam and corruption is happening at the moments .

Issue is policies especially financially beneficial ones for the country should not stop. Scams, corruption may or may not be happening now but no policy paralysis for sure .it has to be tested in congress end as "policy paralysis " was the first time and only time happened then

In general, once a country is on the virtuous cycle, policy matters very little. The best thing a government can do then is actually "policy paralysis" - essentially stay out of the way of industry / private enterprise.

To be honest, there aren't a lot of big decisions left to be taken. As can be seen from the fact that there hasn't been a single 'BIG' decision since the GST. Most of what has to be done now is stay the course. Also there are multiple paths to growth. The current government is choosing to focus on Capital expenditure and controlling deficits. I personally agree but a different government's decision to prioritize revenue expenditure such as subsidies and handouts could also work by stimulating spending.

That said, what international investors seem to value the most is stability in policy. Changes of direction and policy shakeups scare them. Which is why I'd support continuity in the short to medium term.

Nah Cuz,

Puppu single handedly destroyed congress, they don't call him the lord of destruction for nothing.

Our Puppu will single handedly make what Zia uL Haq did to Pakistan look like childs play in comparison.

Problem /Fact is bjp always prioritises infrastructure development irrespective of their top leader political motivation while congress only thinks on spending money and still behaves like Garibi hatao mode.prime example is national highway construction when compared from 1999 to 2014




Govt does not have to take big decisions but it should able to take any kind of decision if required. If market does not have confidence on it atleast ,it's a waste of money.As per india today we lost gdp of 4% per year of inaction.Economic uncertainty was much higher than recession time as per Stanford economists .I think we need atleast another 10 years to became a much better automated system .

Just imagine Amir Shah as his successor and Jay Shah as Home minister 🤣. Would be the end of India. Arjun Jateli died otherwise he was a fine fellow.

Isn't Puppu a liberal?

Zia was conservative.
 
Do you want an illiterate and shortsighted chaiwala as the PM?

Shouldn't leadership position require at least a bachelor's degree?
The very fact that he is riling up so many Bangladeshis and Pakistanis proves that he is doing a bl**dy good job in India.
Better an illiterate chaiwala who can reduce his country's enemies into doing nothing other than raving and ranting on cyberspace, than a so-called Oxford educated playboy who thinks Japan and Germany share a border.

Illiterate? As per who?

Being born poor is a disqualification from holding the PMs post?

Modi holds a bachelor's degree from DU-SOL.

Neither Indira Gandhi nor Rajiv Gandhi had a bachelor's degree. Both were PMs.

What is the education of Khaleda Zia?

It's Amit Shah, and Arun Jaitly.
What's up with you Pakistanis getting Indian names wrong eh? Is it deliberate? How would you like it if we called your leaders Imron Cawn and Shoebaaz Shorif?

Lol don't take it so seriously, it was just misspelling. I just hope if you guys had just half the concern or same feelings for minorities of your country then India would have been a true democracy.

Oh we have a lot of concern for our minorities, don't worry. There's more than 250 million of them, and their numbers are growing.
And yes, we even spell their names correctly.

This is a misnomer if ever there was one.

There was huge corruption in construction of Dwarka Expressway. Even CAG attested to that.
 
It is safe to say that Modiji made Bharat great again.
