Why Modi Can Never Be a PM?

The playgrounds domineer:

Modi doesn’t play nicely with others. It works fine when it’s limited to Gujarat — a world where his way is the highway. But New Delhi is completely a different ballgame. The man who inherited a state with a two-thirds BJP majority is unprepared to manage an unstable coalition with egos almost as big as his own. He can oppress the BJP national enclave to come to an agreement on Sanjay Joshi, but as Prime Minister he will soon find out that a Jayalalithaa can out-sulk him any day.

A former CM of Gujarat told Caravan magazine “Modi only thinks of winning – and winning all the time.” In a way, Manmohan Singh has survived as long as he has, due to his quick to bend way – though increasingly at the cost of being feeble. Modi may be every bit as incapable in New Delhi for the exactly the opposite reason.
