Ever since an India Today Mood of the Nation poll first found Narendra Modi as the most popular candidate for Prime Minister last year ahead of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi an intense debate has raged across India’s political turf as to whether Modi will ever become the Prime Minister given the strains in the BJP and the NDA over him . That repeated nationwide polls by reputed media groups since then have found the same public opinion about Modi has not done much to bring down the intensity of the debate in political circuits. It surfaced yet again last week when Nitish Kumar said that it is the NDA which will decide when it comes to power as to who will lead it.

Even Modi's die-hard supporters are in doubt as to whether the Gujarat Chief Minister expected to win his third term as Chief Minister next week will ever be able to lead India given the opposition to his name from within the BJP and from the NDA and the questions still hanging on his head about his acceptance amongst the minorities.

It, however, doesn't take much to find how things stand on this. One has to just gauge the opinion of the chaiwala in Chennai or the railway ticket collector in Hyderabad or the taxiwala in Kolkatta or the bus conductor in Delhi about who is the fittest candidate for Prime Ministership? All seem to be virtually saying in chorus: Narendra Modi. That precisely matches the results of the pollsters.

Take the case of Maharashtra, my parent state. Western Mahrashtra which I visit regularly is dominated by NCP and Congress. But you have to just scratch the exterior of an average NCP or Congress supporter on Modi and he will willingly confide that he will vote for Modi if the mercurial leader is declared as the Prime Ministerial candidate by the BJP. That in a way is a broad indicator for the BJP leadership that Modi is its best bait if the party is come to power in 2014.

One political Pundit recently argued India doesn’t have a presidential form of Government for Modi to jump on to Prime Ministership on the strength of his popularity on the street. Such Pundits would do well to bear in mind that such fanciful thinking can’t wish away something you don’t want. India might not have a Presidential form of Government but how can those supposed to elect the Prime Minister disregard the unprecedented groundswell of public support from nook and corner of the country for Modi which in many states almost matches the emotional support that Rajiv Gandhi enjoyed following Mrs Gandhi’s death in 1984. India might not have a Presidential form of Government but it is still a democracy, not an autocracy. In politics If solid support starts building up in one's favour from the grass root level and that too across a wide expanse than the opponents have to fall in line, come what may.

If one were to weigh the pros and cons with the precision of a weight measure instrument today one can scarcely deny that once Modi wins the Gujarat poll there is nothing to stop his rise to the Prime Ministership. His roadmap is crystal clear. He has got a clean cheat from the Special Investigation Team on the 2002 Gujarat riots. And sooner or later the US will have to accept Modi like Great Britain did recently given is growing stature and long list of achievements.
