Both past and present suggest that most megalomaniac demagogues with high rhetoric and low substance turn out to be colossal failures. The US awaits Trump. The only difference is that they will probably realize it in 4 years, it will take us 10 years.
Speaking for myself, I don't like demagogues and big talkers. However, all I have seen in my life are attempts to make larger than life figures and families by various political parties, companies, media houses etc.
I would love to hear a better alternative in India right now.
Anything other than Narendra Modi and BJP, I can't buy. Things have been very bad even before they came. Last time I was impressed with the Golden Quadrilateral and East-West, North-South corridors. Even now, I see atleast the ministers working hard even though the results are not seen right out.
However, I do lead a few teams and I know how hard it is to drive changes even in a small group. I can only empathize how hard it would be at a country level.
Again, which leader and which party will be able to do this based on their track records.
Surely not Congress I.
not CPI
AAP just could not stick to its roots and could not scale.
We are left with various regional parties that worked only for their states when they shared power.
