Let me write one more article on the election. This is time its about the probable candidates for the top job – the Prime Minister of India. With the Third Front being launched officially, the contenders for the top job has increased dramatically. Every major player is throwing their hat for the top job. Let us make a quick analysis on the people who are fighting it out for the 7 RCR.
The first and foremost is the current PM, Dr. Manmohan Singh. Undoubtedly he is the most qualified person for the top job. He has the backing of UPA chairperson Mrs Sonia Gandhi and many other leaders within the INC. He is considered the architect of Indian Economy and has served a full term as the Prime Minister of India. He is regarded as Mr.Clean and by far the most intellectual person in Indian Politics for over a decade. However, there are many reasons for why he cannot be the Prime Minister again. His poor health condition, record of not winning a Lok Sabha seat, not being aggressive, being termed by many as a puppet may just act against him from contending for the top job. However, if UPA comes to power I would like to see a person who is corruption free and intellect rather than corrupted and aggressive person.
The next in the line is the NDA candidate Mr. Lal Krishna Advani. One good thing about NDA is that they have declared the prime ministerial candidate rather than waiting for the elections to get over. I termed it as a good thing because I believe that people should know who is going to be their Prime Minister before voting so that they will vote accordingly. This is because a leader is more important than his/her followers. Coming to the analysis, he is considered as a strong, dynamic leader who can really marshal his troops well. He is more like Sardar Patel, the iron man of India. At 80, he is more energetic and active than many of the younger leaders. He is richly experienced in Indian polictics. He is considered as the face of hindutva which could play a major role in the election. On the other side, he is not a consensual politician as his predecessor Mr.A.B.Vajpayee. His hindutva ideology might backfire on him because many people might not agree with it. However, he is the only top leader in the BJP who can be considered for the post. As far as who ll be the PM if NDA comes to power is not an issue as it is in UPA.
The real fight is between the above two candidates. It will be interesting to see who becomes the PM. However, there are other possible contenders for the top job.
One person I would love to see as the Prime Minister of India is Mr. Rahul Gandhi. He is just in late 30’s and am sure like his father he will be a great leader for the country. This country needs a young leader (atleast me). I am bored of seeing people in their 70’s becoming the PM. If Congress declares that he is their Prime Ministerial candidate for the coming election, I openly say here is that my vote is for Congress and I can at least campaign for him among my family members. He may not be experienced like other politicians but the way he spoke during the vote of no confidence motion just shows his character. Along with him, Omar Abdhullah can certainly drive nation towards the progress. I am really impressed with these two young leaders and hope someone like these two, rule my native state as well.
There are other leaders who aspire to become the Prime Minister and are actively working towards it like Sharad Pawar, Mayawati, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Laloo Prasad Yadav etc and the list goes on. I certainly do not even want to analyse about these people. Apart from Sharad Pawar, all other have corruption cases against them ( as far as I know. But I may be wrong) and Sharad Pawar is considered an opportunist. He was part of INC, but came out of it form the NCP as he was against Sonia Gandhi being made the president of INC on the grounds of her nationality. However I found no reason why he went back to support the UPA led Congress. I don’t know why he is hungry for power. BCCI president, current ICC Vice president and ll be the ICC president in the future, union minister and now the way things are moving, no wonder he might openly declare that he wants to be the PM.
Oh God!!! Pls save India. What sin did we make?
At times I wonder whether the PM’s post have become like a child’s play which can be occupied by anyone irrespective of education, caliber, intelligence, and of course honesty and ethics. As I said in my previous post, an Aam Aadmi can only pray to God for his survival.
