Mr Modi is something of a loose cannon. If handed over unfettered power, there is no certainty in which direction he willfire. Besides, he has no record of forgiving and forgetting his real or
perceived enemies. Happily, now there is a check. And it is Lal Krishna Advani.
When he wields his recently acquired power, Mr Modi will need to constantly
look over his shoulder to see what Mr Advani and his troublesome acolytes are
doing; what ‘black mischief’ they are up to. This must be a source of great
irritation for the new, decisive, strong leader who had assumed that since he
had acquired absolute power, no one would question, much less dispute, his
diktat. Well, an 85-year-old man is there to do the questioning and the
disputing. And he is not going away.
