Why Modi Can Never Be a PM?


Divide and fall:

The old cliché about Modi being aggressive has gained fresh strength in the wake of the Sanjay Joshi brawl. He has now earned the uncertain honor of being the one man who forced an unmatched public rift in even the famously disciplined RSS leadership.

Modi evokes extreme emotions, and all other issues withdraw into the background once he comes into the picture. The debate turns into a battle over the merits of the man himself, which promises ill for the BJP. As a Modi supporter notes, “The irony is that the party needs him, but can it really risk positioning him as the prime ministerial candidate for 2014? Doing this would immediately turn the election into a highly-polarized referendum on Modi rather than the UPA’s bad governance,” as reported First Post.

Modi really inspires a loyal and frightening following, but the price is far too high to win a general election.
