Will RSS Dispense With Naidu?

Will RSS Dispense With Naidu?

Venkayya Naidu is seeking re-nomination to the Rajya Sabha for a fourth term and keeping his fingers crossed.

There are many Ministers in the BJP far younger to Venkayya who have earned a good name for their sincerity, leaders such as Nirmala Seetharaman, Suresh Prabhu, Manohar Parrikar and Piyush Goyal.

The difference between them and Venkayya is that they are not as good orators as Venkayya Naidu but silently do their work.  

Venkayya on the other hand is a noted politician but has never been singled out for attention as a Minister. If he is nominated for a fourth term, the RSS would be breaking its policy of not sending anyone more than thrice to the Upper House. This privilege was not extended to even L K Advani.

But the BJP needs Venkayya because he can effectively take on the Opposition. Venkayya is also aware that it will not be easy getting a fourth term. Therefore he is praising Modi by calling him god’s gift to India and that Modi stands for ‘Modifier of Developing India’.

Will Modi bow to this sycophancy and ensure a fourth term for Venkayya? Or will the RSS put him to pasture?
