The exit of Shri Advani and the arrival of Shri Narendra Modia in the cockpit of BJP is an important development. It heralds a new era in the history of BJP. However, what will be its actual impact on the national political scene is not clear and will depend on a number of factors. With Shri Narendra Modi leading the BJP to face the electorate in the 2014 general election, the BJP will have to face serious challenges on its path to success.
It is a fact of life that the supporters of RSS only cannot bring any party to power at the Centre. Whether a single party comes to power or it is a combinations of many parties, as is the case presently ; the support of some section of the minority community will be an unavoidable factor. Given the track record of Shri Modi , it is to be seen whether he can gain the support of various sections of our society. If the new generation of BJP leaders think that BJP can come to power only on the strength of the Hindu vote bank, it will be a serious miscalculation on its part. If on the run up to the general elections, the BJP under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi is able to present a secular image of the Party , then it will be a different ball game.
As an able administrator with a clean image, Shri Modi will stand out as an able leader and it will not be difficult for him to generate mass support for him and for the BJP. However, this will depend on what he and the BJP says to the minorities, and how much support they can generate from amongst the various minority communities.
