Is Mohan Bhagwat Our Next President?

Is Mohan Bhagwat Our Next President?

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat says that he will be the next President of India. He has been talking about it at various Sangh Parivar meetings and gatherings and naturally, this has triggered discussion in political circles. In a way, it is a rather startling claim, say those in political circles.

Ironically, our present President Pranab Mukherjee will be in office for quite some time. In fact, there is barely any discussion going on about the next president.

Of course, there are some within the Saffron party who feel that the party veteran LK Advani would be an ideal choice for the post once Pranab Mukherjee finishes his term.

There is another coterie which says that since Narendra Modi has stolen Advani’s dream of becoming the prime minister, he will make up for it by making him the President.

For now, Modi hasn’t spoken about it and there is no guarantee that he would allow Advani to become the next President.

Meanwhile, Mohan Bhagwat decided to make his now much publicized statement. Apart from talking of making India a Hindu state, he has also been claiming that he would be made the next President at various Sangh meetings.

Of course, there are some who feel that if Bhagwat’s dream of a Hindu state has to come true, then a Sangh man like him has to become the President.

Now, it remains to be seen if BJP will brave the world and make Bhagwat who has made many controversial statements, the next President?
