DEBATE (1)
No doubt Narendra Modi is the top choice of the people and we must have no doubt about his immense talent and capability. The way he fought back and won people’s hearts after the alleged mismanagements during the second wave of COVID-19 is really remarkable. At that time many of Modi’s detractors had suggested that his image was badly tarnished. But the way he handled everything after a disastrous second wave has proved that there is no match for him in India at present. There are no second or third PM candidates in the country at present. Congress is the main opposition party but its main leader Rahul Gandhi stands nowhere near Modi in mass popularity and appeal. But still Rahul is the Congress leader at the national level and he is the second contender for the top job after Modi. If we have to suggest a third PM candidate then it will have to be from BJP and he is Amit Shah. He is not the party president but in effect he is still the chief of the BJP and plays an important role in the organisation.

If BJP retains power for the third consecutive time, Nitin Gadkari can be installed as new Prime Minister. He is more visionary than others.
