I don’t think Sh Advani ji is a PM candidate, PM Job has changed considerably over period of years. Media is hyper active and targeted, one need to be very delivery and strategy oriented, international economic politics is the key driver and with all that you need to manage coalition partners. I don’t think he has that kind of energy left needed for the job. Mr Narendra Modi doesn’t fit the bill. I’m sure US will send enough dollars to derail his candidacy.In my opinion Mrs Sushma Swaraj still has the best chance to make it
I think BJP moving to BJP plus is a marketing gimmick more of campaign term for channelizing cadres to the common goal , they have realized that religious politics has no space and current generation of voters really don’t care , I think India faces larger issue of economic divide which cuts against the caste politics . The root cause of caste politics and reservation was economic backwardness and then adaption to main stream but current scenario as you may have seen with Maruti episode it cuts across the board.
Mid-term election may be a possibility but it’s a hard guess when? It will happen on one good day when one of the UPA coalition partner realizes that its sooner the better. Meantime everyone is back on the drawing board to figure out. I think BJP realizes this situation very well and their national convention had that message and clarity. I saw news that BSP may withdraw the support on Oct 9th but I still think UPA will manage to get them back. Is BJP ready for mid-term polls answer is No? They have no new allies BJD, AIDMK, TMC are on the edge to join and JD(U) is on the edge to leave . Nov state polls will be a good indicator. Also NDA allies need a clear message and direction from BJP about the PM candidate and BJP is still not communicative. NDA allies need to know the PM man in order to position themselves to fight so called secular forces like UPA. . We will know this more clearly in next couple of months till drastic events happens
