The recent statement of Shri Advani highlighting the achievement of the MP Chief itiMinister as against that of the Gujarat CM is a clear indication that he is not comfortable to project the later as the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2014 general elections. Whether and to what extent it is true is not known but it has all been subject matter of media speculation.
The ground reality is that the question who will be the Prime Minister in case the NDA comes back to power is rather premature and hypothetical. We do not know the mind of the electorate and moreover the performance of the UPA has not been such that it can be considered a totally spent force. It is true that the UPA has come under lot of pressure and criticism on account of various developments. The enormity of the so called failures on various aspects of governance has been brought to the notice of the general public by the electronic and print media. At this point of time it is not known whether and to what extent these media reports have been able to make any impact on the mind of the electorate.
Therefore, it is rather premature to speculate on who will be the next Prime Minister of India. Since ours is a parliamentary system of government, the election is not based on personality of certain individuals , as is the case in a presidential system of government. Let us hope that the infighting within the political parties gets contained till the election results are out. It will only demonstrate the maturity of our democratic institutions.
