The stocky chief minister of Gujarat, a state in western India, already boasts a rags-to-success story. The son of a low-caste chai-wallah who became a lowly member of the Hindu nationalist movement, has in the past few weeks at last emerged as the dominant figure of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Re-elected in Gujarat in December after 11 years in power, his ambitions are now national. The de facto BJP candidate to be prime minister after the election due by next year, evidence abounds of his growing clout. In March the BJP's president, Rajnath Singh, an old opponent, was forced into two concessions. First Mr Modi, alone among chief ministers, muscled himself onto a pair of important party committees. Then his right-hand man, Amit Shah, was installed as the party's general secretary. Mr Modi's strength comes from two sources. The more troubling is an assertive strain of Hindu-based politics. Leaders of the influential Hindu nationalist movement, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, distrust him as too independent-minded. But ordinary members back him fervently, yearning for a Hindu strongman. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
