Modi, Indira Gandhi and “Imposed“ Chief Ministers;
The electoral victories in Haryana and Maharashtra of BJP has had two
consequences. All the critics of Narendra Modi had to shut up. Then the
second more controversial consequence is that Modi has become an all
powerful political figure in India and therefore can appoint anyone he
likes as Chief Ministers. The selection of two total novices as Chief
Ministers of Haryana and big economic state of India Maharashtra has
caused shock and an anticipation that things will definitely go wrong.
Who are Chief Ministers Manohar Lal Khattar of Haryana and Devendra
Fadnavis of Maharashtra? The BJP says they are new faces, clean and
generally wonderful fellows. No one has heard of them before. Neither of
them has any experience in running any part of a state government.
Narendra Modi might like them. But is that enough to be Chief Ministers
of two most important states, where the BJP has never formed a
government?
