Dhankhar Factor Sparks Anticipation: Could Dhankhar's Impact Trigger Significant Changes in BJP and Government?
In the vibrant political landscape of India, several significant events and developments have been unfolding.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, known for his firm policy of intolerating detractors, both within and outside the government, has been making strategic moves to maintain control. The dismissal of CBI directors and vice-presidents who held differing views, as seen in the Dhankhar case, is a testament to this approach.
The politics surrounding the selection of the new BJP president, however, have created a delay and are causing some discomfort for PM Modi. The uncertainty surrounding his relationship with the RSS and the current challenges posed by US President Donald Trump's actions are further complicating matters.
The election for the successor of Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who is expected to resign on September 9, is a hot topic of discussion. Dhankhar, who was initially seen as an extreme loyalist of PM Modi, later showed independence in the Rajya Sabha, and his resignation has made PM Modi aware of potential dangers ahead.
The RSS sees the Dhankhar episode as an opportunity to emphasize greater cooperation and coordination. Meanwhile, Nishikant Dubey, a BJP leader, is expected to demand more powers for the leader who brought the BJP to the center-stage of Indian politics.
PM Modi's search for a new vice-president will gain momentum in the weeks ahead. A BJP leader, a known loyalist, asserted that only Modi has the right to decide whether the BJP remains in power. Those sidelined by the PM may use this opportunity to highlight their usefulness in various ways.
The NDA in Bihar is not in a favorable condition, and Prime Minister Modi is reportedly facing multiple mutinies. The EC's Special Intensive Revision in poll-bound Bihar has united the Opposition, adding another layer of complexity to the political situation.
Despite these challenges, PM Modi has handled Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu well, demonstrating his ability to navigate political waters effectively.
In a bid to prevent unexpected events, as demonstrated by his handling of the Jagdeep Dhankhar episode, PM Modi is focusing on national security measures, foreign relations, and domestic policies. The Sudarshan Chakra Mission, the government's stance on border security and infiltration, defense modernization, and managing complex relations with neighboring Pakistan and trade negotiations with the U.S. are some of the key areas of focus.
As we move forward, it will be interesting to see how these political developments unfold and how PM Modi navigates these challenges to steer the nation forward.
