		Yet Modi continues as CM, he’s the ideological beacon of the sangh parivar, and recently was even a guest at a genteel debate in Kolkata where he won applause as an anti-politically correct Hindu hriday samrat.

		Modi’s strength is the direct result of the fatal weakness of every other politician today.
