Apparently, the party mantle has fallen on Narendra Modi The BJP has demonstrated in unmistakable terms about who would be leading the party in an attempt to recapture power at the Centre. The leader is Narendra Modi who has been re-inducted into the parliamentary board of the party. He has been kept outside for six years. Now, accepting the growth figures in Gujarat, the central leadership of the party has no doubt he would be the fit person. And that underscores the fact that the party would be playing the extremist Hindutva ideology. And that would be a great departure from the Atal Bihari Vajpayee days. L.K.Advani, Yashwant Sinha, Jaswant Singh and all would not be tall leaders vis-a-vis Narendra Modi. There may be many critics against this choice. But a party has the right to choose its nominee, even though Narendra Modi has not been chosen the Prime Ministerial candidate as yet. The writing is clear on the wall. The rival political parties have also the right to criticise the situation. But the right of any party to bring a particular person on the vanguard cannot be questioned. The results have to be watched at the appropriate time.
