Why does Modi crave a majority?
Good governance is possible by even the barest of majorities but this can be done only by a consultative process which clearly has been anathema to Mr Modi.
Any leader seeking a sweeping majority is looking to acquire political power far in excess of what is required for governance. Temperamentally, Mr Modi does not like the consultative process and eschews consensus building. Many of his personality traits are similar to Indira Gandhi’s.
Just as she sought and gained a massive majority in 1971, by promoting fears of destabilisation to acquire brute political power, Mr Modi’s campaign has also projected him as a messiah for all ills that threaten to destroy India.
This campaign has been all about Mr Modi acquiring absolute political power and less about development. What he will do with the power, if he gets an endorsement from the people, is a different issue altogether.

Re: Why does Modi crave a majority?
This article is a perfect example of manipulative writing.
"Does India need a government with a brute majority at the helm to make economic progress?"
The fundamental concept of democracy is people express their will through elections and majority assumes power to administer the nation.
What was modi's crime in seeking 272 seats for his party to win elections? Given the situation on the ground that number is a tall order (it has not been done by any Indian party since 1984). This writer calls that a brute majority and makes that crime against nation.
"Any leader seeking a sweeping majority is looking to acquire political power far in excess of what is required for governance."
Can anyone explain this moronic statement? If a leader strives for wider support of people, then it is seeking excessive power. So was Nehru, who received a overwhelming majority, seeking absolute power ? He should have stopped after the first time but that traitor Nehru went on to win 371 in 1957 and then 361 in 1962. Rajiv was another triator. He won 404 in 1984.
"This campaign has been all about Mr Modi acquiring absolute political power and less about development. "
Using such spurious arguments, he concludes the above. In order to prove modi's efforts to get 272 as a power grab of saddam type , this writer sells his soul to come up with really stupid arguments. His credibility touches zero when calls efforts to get 272 as brute majority and sweeping majority.
Why would any newspaper publish such a piece of junk?
