The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
What an inspiration Congressee chief is for such writer’s imagination to work overtime?
If Rahul Gandhi keeps firing the imagination of Indians this way BJP need not spend in crores to campaign in future elections.
BJP has adopted most of the congress party vision & policy primafacea tangibly deviating ( but not from heart ) from their own latent hardcore policy for gaining power so there is now no worries for congress mindset oriented people. At center congress rules or BJP rules it doesn’t matter congress mind set is enforced rendering service to the 125 corers people. The difference lies between both Government is of their modus operandi congress does it by gentleman’s love approach governance while BJP does it by hook or crook approach in accomplishing the task. Tulsidasji gospel BJP follows
” बिन भय होय न प्रीत ” but tall claims could be
” अति का भला न बोलना अति की भली न चुप …..” there are many stories in history caution us…
Let us hope for the best under 2 nd inning of Modiji .
Many has mistaken the views of the author. Similarly even RAGA also may not understand. It is only to highlight that it is better Mr.RAGA learns something and show maturity so that Congress can grab next opportunity to deny BJP continued run. Let us hope the author succeeds in his attempt
The writer is pro bjp or pro Modi and anti Congress and anti Rahul – – whatever it may be – he is under estimating the sense of democracy and super masing dictator ship. Indian voters and mainly the upcoming generation is clever and will elect only the parties on their performance. Eventhough the performance of modi 1 not performed as it promised in 2014 but the voters elected as no equal strength opposition leader was not seen in the political vicinity and other factors like plenty money, supports of EC, CBI etc., it happened and in future also it will happen in Gujarat, WB, state elections – – but record it it will be the WILL of God & the decision of voters – – Hence the prediction of writer may go wrong by so many factors – and unity within bjp is doubtful if RSS and bajra ngdal’s agenda is not fulfilled like Ayodya, article 370 and uniform civil code etc, as modi is particular about sabka vishwas and he has to deliver his performance with global countries and build up the economy in the coming years – –
And if modi abide the pressure of RSS and dance according to their tune, then all moral ethics of India will be buried and civil war, protests will start and it will go in the hands of foreign super powers – Already India us over burden with foreign debts and each citizen of India having a debt of 57000 rupees in his head ( it is increased drastically in last 2 years) _- so very sensible formula will be followed. Congress on other hand we cannot underestimate them as most of them and will be in bjp now.
Humourous article. Atleast now, we should stop glorifying personalities, especially Congress men, whether it is Modi or Rahul. If Rahul is not fit, someone should take plunge and set the things straight. In fact, Jagdeesh Tytler tried and failed, but it is not new in Congress.
This is absurd…Modi’s success is because of his connect with people and welfare measures , that includes a corruption free government. saying Modi won because of Rahul’s inability is unacceptable. Modi won because of his love for the country.

Well done Analysis, Brother. It is a round about , thorough, a true local and geo-political sensed article. What u say is true absolutely on mantle passing, Modi to Shah to Yogi, but Yogi might become obsolete in 2040 world political and living environment. Rahul might be toppled by Sachin Pilot after 2024 elections defeat. Anyways , a great article. Thanks.
It is utter senseless story.During Nehru,Indira nobody thinks beyond them.
Modi is not replaceable leader.
Every thing will be changed.changes only constant.Media hype only create modi but for various reasons better known to every commener.
So please wait .
No body thinks Nazis will fall till they enter Russia.

It appears that Mr. Shivam has taken a role of PR of BJP and would come with more atrocious thing in days to come. Some time balanced thinking gets eroded when blinkered thought takes over. One should not disseminate very bised view.
Frivolous and worthless article .Wasted my time. Wonder how such articles are appearing in Print . Looks like there are no editorial guidelines. Even as sarcasm it does not make the grade .
Looks like knives are out in secu camp. it is not Rahul Gandhi who is at fault by Nehru secularism. Now secus are behaving like Sultan of Delhi Sultanate and want to kill messenger for bringing bad news.
Vij has hit the nail on the head and without causing any pain to the nail either. Wonder when Modi and company will ever realize that they are in power simply because the opposition is too weak.
Yes. This is what even die hard cong grassroot workers are also telling. A strong opposition is a must for democracy to work in people’s interests. That way i concur yogendra yadav’s observation that cong is an obstacle. The article of course is hyperbolic in its pessimism about indian voters’ intelligence and i wish its predictions do not come true. But rahul gandhi’s is capable of miracles in shooting his own foot and party. So the predictions may miraculously prove true also.
A completely biased opinion from a bhakt most probably, no matter what will be going on with indian politics in 2049, no matter weather bjp will won the election in 2049 or lost it, no matter rahul gandhi will be the prime minister or not ….
The thing is the articles, blogs, print media, news channels have completely lost their crediblity and trust among secular indians, news channels and their respective anchors just seems to be not more than a standup comedian !!
I bet if there will be honest reporting of news and genuine questions will be asking by media then bjp will got no chance to win even the 2019 lok sabha election if conducted one more time !!
Such a biased article , the writer seems to be a bigot ( there’s nothing wrong in answering a question with spiritual mindset, maybe it’s difficult for the writer with his peanut sized brain to understand).
क्या बात है थे प्रिंट वाले भैया, इतना काहे खिसियाए हो। ई जो राहुल गांधी है ना, अब का कहे इसके नाम के पीछे गांधी लगा के बदबूदार किए हुए हो, अच्छा ई राहुल है ना मोदी को प्रधानमंत्री बनाए रखने की गारंटी है। देखो कैसे खुस्बू आने लगी राहुल के नाम से, बेकार में गांधी को बदनाम किए हो। ए ऐ ऐ राहुल नाम तो सुना होगा। बकवास ख़तम, अब काम की बात , ज़रा अपने पुराने आर्टिकल्स उठा के देखो राहुल के डिंपल पे कितने फिदा थे आपके लेफ्ट लिबरल पत्रकार। बात खतम ईद मुबारक
The author’s analysis is shallow and ridiculous. A 7th grade student can make out what’s missing in the article, logic. The conclusion and premise are as ridiculous as what he is trying to prove.
Be sure the aura of Modi wont last because he wont be able to perform and how long can he use the army and religion ,criticize Congress for doi g nothing and bluff people..hes gone ..Rahul has it in his blood…people who called him pappu once have changed thier minds now..he did make Modi amit and yogi run this elections…be sure next elections they will have no excuse to make for doing nothing..
It is not the end of Rahul Gandhi or Congress but the Genesis of the end of the unbiased journalism. Why is the media swinging Right? You should be asking unpleasant questions about the recently concluded election, corruption and misgovernace in the present dispensation. Why deify the mortals?
In my view two terms from 2024 and from 2029 for BJP/NDA are certain. But after election 2029 Then The prime Minister Yogi Adityanaath may face political threats from a deadly combination consisting of Jihad supporting Political outfits like Congress, BSP. TMC —- what maybe their name by then, ,Leftists and some southern parties. But also keep in mind that India of now has moved on to a development trajectory for next fifteen years thanks to wisdom displayed by the voters of India in 2019. . Many developments in technology will make election -2034 a wonderful contest . A futurist visionary may be able to predict type of tools that will be employed then. No need to , and possibility of predicting election outcome today.
BJP is going to rule for 100 years as there is a party backup and workers backup.The President of Party is replaceable.The PM is replaceable.and In that sequence MODI till 2029,Amit Shah till 2044 and then Yogi will take over by a Hindu renaissance upsurge and backlash.Now time for all others to adjust themselves with Hindus and live happily peacefully else they will have to go out.INDIA WILL BE HINDU RASHTRA BY 1975 AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION IS NULLIFIED BY SC AS ILLEGAL AND ULTRAVIRES.
It is wrong to say that Modi had made the election a presidential contest against Gandhi. The truth is that the entire opposition made these elections a Presidential contest by entirely focusing its ire on Modi with “Modi Hatao” campaign.
It is a useless article…Written just for the sake of penning something.
What utter nonsense is the author dishing.
Wish The Print respects the time and sensibility of the readers…
Very very biased article to defame rahul and congress.I have read the interview in India Today . Rahul has replied so intelligently. Fact is distorted in this article.such type of abusive material is not good for the Print also.It is like a blot on journalism
Shivam Vij, you had written an article titled ‘Akhilesh Yadav is a winner even before the 2019 elections have begun’. We know what happened to your casteist analysis and predictions. You got it all wrong. But you could be excused because electoral arithmetic is hard to pin down.
But when it comes to Rahul Gandhi, you don’t come a across as convincing in your critique. His Vipassana interview to India Today was done long back but how come you never critiqued RG’s personality problems before. Now you are dissing Rahul Gandhi as an unteachable mediocrity. But it doesn’t need an electoral debacle to honestly assess RG as deficient in political acumen. I would request you to write a little more constructively. Maybe you can follow RGs advice and try and construct or fabricate within your mind a ‘liking’ for Modi, for a change… 🙂
A totally biased article. It’s completely fine that writer may have personal liking for any person or party but when you write on public platforms it should be unbiased. As your articles are being read by large audience of different agegroups. As an intellectual you have a responsibility to report the truth rather predicting future on which no one can have control ever.
Modi had been often called God or God’s gift to India. So just want to say Vijji that Modi will be PM of India for ever. Leave alone Congress or Rahul, there won’t be any opposition or leaders after all how can we oppose God Modi. The author must understand it is like BJP without Modi it would be zero, no one will support Amit Shah, the same with Congress, it would be zero without Gandhis. Yes Congress has to bring back break away including YSRC TDP TMC, NCP under Congres including regional parties. India is democracy, it is not going to be one party rule for too long. Congress and Gandhi’s were exploited by vested interest leaders, some are hanging, others have joined BJP or some other party because Congress is not in power. Congress need to kick out dead wood and then it can change
The article is written in frustration. It assumes that Modi/ Amit Shah won’t trip up nor people will not vote them out due to sheer anti incumbency. After all, in 2004, Vajpayee lost to a disorganised opposition. 15 years later we still have fully understood why. Hence these kind of long term forecasting is fraught with danger.
That shivam is a special thinker of the grand order of merit on par with shekhar is evident in each somersault he takes. Both can chase each other on the branches of Print tree and sing their anthem Paytm karo.
Media houses like The Print that unabashedly glorified Rahul Gandhi prior to the election have started seeing the truth at least now. Great. Contrary to popular practices of these times, truthful analysis would have been of much greater use to Rahul than feeding his ego. The common man of India hope that he will continue his good works for the betterment of BJP.
It is funny that MR.Shivam Vij is predicting voters mind upto 30 years, as to which party will rule india, when the reality is that the opinion polls and exit polls are failure of the particular election. It is also strange that the media it seems wants to fill-up its pages some how so that they give such worthless articles a space. Its tragedy that the fourth pillar is trying to shake its own foundation. Most unfortunate.
On a more substantive note, this is the sort of thinking that breeds both complacency and hubris. Nine months after May 2014, AAP swept Delhi. Nine months later, it was Nitish Babu’s turn in Bihar. More than plotting electoral outcomes or the promise – or lack thereof – of the principal challenger – it would be fruitful to map five years of each term in more real terms – economic growth, job creation, manufacturing, foreign trade, agriculture, services, education, healthcare, public transport, quality of urbanisation, social peace, law and order, women’s safety, foreign policy and national security. These are the metrics by which a great nation’s progress is recorded in history. 2019 may not have seen much discussion on any of these issues, but that idyll cannot last till 2049, even if Arnab Goswami is anchoring Republic TV all this while.

Naturally, BJP will win all future elections as it has mastered the art of manipulating EVM and keeping the EC as its slave.
Ha. Ha. BJP failed to manipulate EVMs in TN, Kerala and Punjab! Please come out of this ‘blame EVM’ syndrome.
This is fantastic analysis. So just a year to tolerate without these mighty geniuses in charge of India’s destiny, since anyway human civilisation will be wiped out in 2050.

An interesting piece; ventures to gaze into the future; kind of scenario building. There are lessons for all political parties.

In the guise of personal comments, author has aptly described perfect sequence of events likely to happen next 30 years. Say goodbye to Congress.
Good Analysis
What kind of analysis is this? Do you have to write even when you have nothing to say? Superficial at the very least
Amazingly narrated.
But I want country to be progressing and for that need it to be MODIfied for at least 30 years under BJP rule.
So we will not let pappu resign. He is our start pracharak.
So, what stage of grief is this Shivam?
Sorry but Rahul is a genius.
On a more substantive note, this is the sort of thinking that breeds both complacency and hubris. Nine months after May 2014, AAP swept Delhi. Nine months later, it was Nitish Babu’s turn in Bihar. More than plotting electoral outcomes or the promise – or lack thereof – of the principal challenger – it would be fruitful to map five years of each term in more real terms – economic growth, job creation, manufacturing, foreign trade, agriculture, services, education, healthcare, public transport, quality of urbanisation, social peace, law and order, women’s safety, foreign policy and national security. These are the metrics by which a great nation’s progress is recorded in history. 2019 may not have seen much discussion on any of these issues, but that idyll cannot last till 2049, even if Arnab Goswami is anchoring Republic TV all this while.
