The general elections have brought the era of coalition government in operation. Nothing is permanent and so is the popularity of PM Modi. Even Mohan Bhagwat in a statement today advised government has to go with consensus. It was indeed height of arrogance the BJP President JP Nadda having announced Bjp does not need RSS. I would like to mention what late Acharya Kriplani the veteran Congress President having said “politicians are the people standing with their feet in sand and legs made of clay.” History tells us that man learns nothing from history. Your write up is well analysed and an warning too.
“Nobody prays to the setting sun—least of all politicians.” Weighty statement. I hope Modi still thinks of himself as a politician and not a God-send ruler i.e. authorized by God. It is to be noted that Modi always had absolute majority during his tenures of more than 23 years as CM or PM till now. And he is habituated to rule like a monarch or like a CEO. It will be very difficult for a person with authoritarian tendency to work under consensus. I suspect Modi’s persona will be the biggest handicap in Modi 3.0 government.
