Today Narendra Modi is the most loved and praised CM of any state of India. Many young people want to see him as next prime minister of the country. He has already propelled state of Gujarat to be front-line state of India and ftill fastest growing state in country, he has been on the cover of time magazine. He has got more votes than anybody else in Time 100 poll (second highest as a individual in positive vote and highest negative votes). In fact volume of negative votes shows kind of fear he invoke in the minds of his distractors. High number of positive votes shows how much he is loved by the people. Both put together tell us a story that he is the man of hour. You love or hate him but you can not ignore the man. He is praised as great administrators whosoever visit the state of Gujarat, everybody acknowledge that he is man of hour.
However even with all this credibility and recognition when it comes to talk of him as prime minister of India there is a lot of debate. Most of the mainstream media do not like him at all. Thanks to twitter and facebook now we know the level of his popularity with young India. His distractors have tried to pin down him so many time for post-Godhra riots which he controlled very efficiently. All inquiries have not been able to point a finger at him. Still his opponents with the help of main stream media keep on harping the same discredited theme where they blame him for riots forgetting altogether what caused the public anger.
India is a large country and only 65% of its people are literate, that include nominally literate as well. There everybody do not go and think about the things. People go by emotions and emotions are inflammable, particularly when you do not have the knowledge. His opponents in other parties are afraid of confronting him. They do not stand a ground in front of his achievements. For him problem comes from the dynamics of Indian politics. Here minority votes are polarized. Now dilemma of his own party is that if they project him then all votes will be polarized against them, hence they can not afford to declare his candidature before election. This dilemma helps opponents of his party.
Then second factor is that in today's India he belong to a party which has so many eligible leaders who are capable and they might not go for declaring the name in advance. This is however small issue.
Then there is the factor of allies. Now when Indian politics is dominated by powerful regional parties, BJP also has to rely on allies. Some of these allies are caught in image trap. In fact largest ally JD(U) is caught in this dilemma. Hence because of this reason also BJP can not declare Modi as candidate.
There is another side of this problem. Since minority is already against BJP with or without Modi, hence party should not indulge in vote-bank politics like other parties.They should come out of it and strengthen the grass-root network of the party. Of the significant allies only JD (U) have a problem with Modi. That is also because of vote-bank politics. But party can not ignore it.
Hence even though India has produced a administrator of the caliber of Modi, people of this nation can not enjoy the effective administration he can provide and we as a nation deserve after years of loot by grand old ruling party of present days.
In this world we get what we deserve and that is going to happen with us. Although we have great leader like Modi among us but we also have large illiterate population, we have politics of caste and religion. Since you can not take illiterate people above these division until and unless you educate them, we will always end up with a government that is elected by non-thinking people voting on fault line of the society. This problem is further intensified by the fact that most of highly educated people work away from their homes and can not go for voting and they do not go for voting.
Therefor in the end we will end up with what we deserve collectively (that is lack-lusture and corrupt government led by CONgress) not the best (A honest government headed by able administrator).
