I will not give my Delhi – I am destined to rule it, says Narendra Modi
I will not give my Delhi – I am destined to rule it. When Congress ruled India about fifty years, why should he be far behind, he ought to be destined to rule Delhi. Narendra Modi had been negotiating with Regional Parties and with other sundry parties. He would plead them, ‘you enable me to be the Prime Minister, I shall give all you want’.
This message had been conveyed to all who dare to bargain with BJP. In fact, they were being fooled only to grab the seat of the Prime Ministership. Once he presumes a brute majority in Parliament and become a third time Prime Minister, their life would be miserable in coming years.
Narendra Modi would let lose all the Agencies to trample upon them once for all. Amit Shah would be made Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister and Narendra Modi would be the Super Prime Minister of India for life.

I will not give my Delhi – I am destined to rule it. BJP reluctantly but forcibly allowed Nithish Kumar to its fold since it had no alternative arrangement in Bihar. It had been hunting him for some time. In spite of Nitish Kumar’s inclination to slant towards it, his unpredictable nature was worrying BJP.
His credentials were in doubt since, he was power – hungry and would not like to hand over the baton of the post of the Chief Ministership to others. His mental mettle was rattling. Once he declared that Tejaswi Yadav as his heir – apparent for the Chief Ministership. He now would not want to hand over the power to Tejaswi.

I will not give my Delhi – I am destined to rule it. Umpteen number of visits of Narendra Modi to Southern States
I will not give my Delhi – I am destined to rule it. A spree of visits to Southern States being undertaken by Narendra Modi particularly to Tamil Nadu and Kerala reveals that he had great plans for south Indian States. If the results of Telangana were to be reckoned, one could realise that there had been a well-orchestrated conspiracy to over throw KCR government.
The same conspiracy would be at work to rob a majority of seats from Southern India so as to compensate the likely loses that might occur in Northern India. It could also weaken both governments of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The same yard stick would be applied in Telangana too to overthrow the Telangana Government.
I will not give my Delhi – I am destined to rule it. An epilogue
It is not the psych of the Damodar Das Narendra Modi to give up positions and posts easily. One could recollect the firmness with which he stuck to the Chief Minister of Gujarat in spite of the regrets expressed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the then BJP Prime Minister of India.
He is not as democratic as the democrats of the Great Britain use to be, who threw the posts on the slightest descent or the discontent. Narendra Modi is desperate to hold on to the posts by any means – overt or covert. Power is ultimate and a birth right to Narendra Modi because he thinks that he is destined to rule Delhi and thus would not like to give up Delhi.
