2019 seems fraught with possibilities

Deccan Chronicle  

The year 2019, like 2014, will be another presidential election year. The 2018 elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, where the BJP has deep roots and enjoyed power, and where the usual anti-incumbency should be kicking in, has been diluted by Narendra Modi’s unhistorical stridency. The new state witnessed another largely bipolar election, between the charisma of K. Chandrashekar Rao and his reckless populism, and the faceless leaders of the Congress, seen as marching behind TDP supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu. KCR also ensured that no major political alternative to Narendra Modi’s narrow and virulent nationalism emerges with the Congress as its main phalanx. If the Congress had won even one of the two big Hindi states, the “mar” of the Bimaru states, it would have been a major blow to the leadership of Narendra Modi.
