Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is not the only person, who is feeling restless over the prospects of Narendra Modi as the next PM candidate of BJP, the same restlessness may also be found in RSS.

Some recent events highlight the role that Haryana is playing in national politics. One event was the Congress’s November 4 rally held in Delhi, for which the state Congress mobilised the largest of crowds. The other is the controversial former Army chief V.K. Singh’s imminent entry into politics.

The BJP President, Nitin Gadkari, will have ultimately to go; it is a matter of time. The party may allow him to complete the present term but desist from giving him another stint in office. However, in the event of pressure mounting and the RSS and the BJP unable to resist the coercion, they may ask Gadkari to quit forthwith. A polarised and fractious BJP may not like an unnecessary controversy like the one created by Gadkari to hit them with the general elections knocking at the door. If Gadkari goes down in disgrace, it will be an embarrassment to the RSS, who propped up an unknown person to the top post of a national party.
