The only person from the BJP I would consider for the P.M.'s post is Modi. But the moth eaten old hags wouldn't let him take the rein and he is happy with being the leader of Gujarat and so are the people of Gujarat.
When the next election comes, the NDA is <b>not</b> going to project a P.M. candidate to maintain unity at the polls. The RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal and even Acharya Sabha are going to be insisting on the BJP on <b>their own candidates in each constituency</b> if the party needs their support with the result neither Advani nor Rajnath Singh would have much following when the results are announced. This is the difference between the congress and the BJP. Sonia is Congress. Nobody is BJP. That is the difference. Also we have to consider what is the accomplishments of Advani and Rajnath after the debacle in the last election organizationally and politically. The way Uma Bharathi one of the mass leaders of the Hindi belt was tricked into giving up her Chief Ministership in connivance with the congress and then throwing her out speaks volumes of their organizational ability. Jinnah controversy raised by the RSS against Advani has damaged his stature enourmously. He still wants to be the PM and won't let anyone else gratiously. Rajnath has lost the UP to Maya. These are the accomplishments of the two tall leaders of the BJP.
Just imagine BJP attacking the Congress on Sethu Samudhram Project when Vajpayee himself had sanctioned it! The congress would tear BJP apart. That is why BJP needs the Hindu outfits to attack the Congress on Rama Sethu and on denigration of Rama. Then the congress would be cornered. And the Hindu outfits are going to demand their price upfront this time from the BJP!
The NDA would have to elect the leader after the election and that person would be the Prime Ministerial candidate if the NDA has the majority. Considering his nearness to these Hindu outfits Dr.Subramanian Swamy has better chance than others. All because there won't be much of party loyalty to count on from the newly elected MPs for those big wigs of the BJP.
My 2 cents.
