The man who conjured up a patchwork alliance of diverse political outfits after the 2017 assembly polls in Goa is ill, and BJP is wondering what to do.

Mamdani’s politics feels unusual compared to India’s current climate. He unapologetically foregrounds Muslim identity at a time when doing so in India invites scrutiny.

This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
The Indian political system will have to learn to deal with more maturity with cases of ill health concerning people holding important public offices. The normal caveat that privacy should be respected does not apply in such cases. A notable recent case is of Ms J Jayalalithaa, with few Tamilians knowing during her period of hospitalisation whether she was even fully conscious. To say that Goa is a postage stamp sized state will not suffice. For most of 2018, its governance and political leadership have been adrift. That is not fair to the people of the state. Whether in a political party or the government, there should be an officially designated no. 2, who can step in at a moment’s notice. Not making this provision reflects paranoia and insecurity.
