By Rahul Shrivastava: This is a classic example of how politics in India never sleeps and political calculators never go silent. On the evening of March 10, when the Election Commission was wrapping up the EVMs which had delivered four state verdicts in favour of the BJP and one for the AAP, a new set of complex computations were initiated with a July deadline in mind.

If the BJP applies PM Modi’s “no appointment to a public office after 75 years” formula, it can be safely said that the Modi-Shah duo along with the RSS are currently hunting for a new man or woman to occupy Rashtrapati Bhavan. Or, they are weighing if they can, in fact, repeat Kovind. The president’s election and the first two years of the five-year tenure of the next President of India promise to be the most gripping political potboilers. Why? Please read on.

The forward-looking chatter involved a reverse calculation that to beat Narendra Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, there are two critically linked pit stops. While the first was to defeat or drastically weaken BJP in the UP election in March 2022, the other was to reduce Modi’s “ease of ruling” by installing an Opposition man as President of India in July 2022. The key ingredient to the plan was an almost utopian unification o...
