Just before the election I was traveling by train ( The Duranto) from Indore to Mumbai. As we had to pass the time and the election fever was on, perforce the discussion turned to politics and the new leader of the BJP , Narendra Modi. I asked a young man who he liked the most. In a shot he mentioned the name of Narendra Modi. He further added that he had seen Modi at a political rally in Indore and he was struck by the fact that he looked like a lion.
He further clarified that he gave the impression that he was a lion and the king of the political arena. I was impressed, but later on many younsters began to associate Narendra Modi witha lion. Perhaps like a lion he supported a lovely mane, in his case a beard. During the election he landed at Amethi in helicopter for a political speech. Just as the chopper touched down , the massive crowd surged forward shouting "Lion has come! Lion has come!". There is no doubt that Narendra Modi has caught the imagination of the indian youth. for the first time there is a leader who was born after independence and as such he vibes with the younger lot. Maybe he is the man who will be the successor to MK Gandhi. Lets wait and see.
