Modi & BJP.
Modi & BJP.
Pratap Bhanu Mehta is right in concluding that the BJP has more internal checks and balances institutionally than any other party ( More than Modi, IE,4/4). He has exploded the myth that Modi is dictatorial by nature. Modi or Rajnath Singh can not run the party, and the state, without the cooperation of chief ministers like Shivraj Chouhan, Raman Singh, Vasundara Raje, Manohar Parrikar and Sushil Modi. The different voices from BJP leaders which sometimes features in the newspapers also testifies to the democratic nature of the party. One hardly finds chief ministers of the Congress given their due, and the party suppresses all dissent against the so-called high command which is essentially the family. Internal democracy in every party is essential for a democratic polity.
