Nitin Gadkari takes over as the President of BJP, the main opposition party in India, replacing Rajnath Singh
Yet again, there is another north Indian who is at the helm of a national party. I have never understood the real reason behind this choice. It may be because the party is largely based in the North, because after all north India is more populated than South and hence party follower ship also is likely to be more
Isn't it time that parties like the Congress and BJP think about getting people from the South to also lead it. Gadkari apparently was bought in to show the changing face of the party, its willingness to get young and in the process reach out to the growing constituency of a growing young India. This claim of the party is definitely good and for this reason, i would then like to know, why Mr Ananth Kumar a stalwart amongst its ranks wasn't considered. Gadkari is relatively new to the national scene and also quite unheard amongst its own people i am sure. Where as Ananth Kumar has been on the national scene for long, have held cabinet ranks and has been one of the key figures in the parties national arena
Congress we all know, cannot think of anyone – currently at least – to get someone other than the Gandhi’s to lead it. If there was a scenario, i am sure they are also going to get a person in charge that hails from the Hindi belt
60 years of polity in India and very few leaders at the helm from the South, time to get this trend reversed … let the change begin i wish
