Modi-Mukherjee ties sweeter

Their politics has been different. Pranab Mukherjee, the archetypal Bengali liberal and a Congress politician much his life and Narendra Modi, hardcore RSS pracharak and Hindutva votary have risen to the top of Indian politics through different staircases, some would say.

But the first Bengali to be Indian president and the second Gujarati to be India's prime minister (after Morarji Desai) seem to have taken a liking for each other since Modi became prime minister after a bitterly fought election, in which Mukherjee's Congress party was all but decimated.

Senior officials say Modi has made it a habit to call up President Mukherjee every Thursday after the usual Wednesday cabinet meeting.

"They discuss a wide range of subjects. Modi seems to be very impressed by Mukherjee's depth of knowledge, dispassionate assessment of issues important for the country and clinical political thinking. He is beginning to treat the President almost like an adviser," says a senior PMO official.

The President seems to have taken a liking for Modi's dedication to take the country forward, specially his focus on economic growth and raising India's stock in the world.

A top BJP leader close to Modi says the Prime Minister specially consults Pranab Mukherjee on Bangladesh.

"You can see Dada's (Mukherjee) influence on our Bangladesh policy," he said.

"LK Advani used to take Pranab Mukherjee very seriously and would touch base with him on many issues. Now Modi is doing the same," the leader said. "This is our political culture, we are never sectarian when it comes to the good of the nation," he said.

In fact, Advani had once praised Mukherjee to the skies by suggesting he has saved the Manmohan government on scores of occasions with his consummate political skills.

Mukherjee never got the attention from Manmohan Singh or other Congress ministers -- many like Chidamabaram saw him as a bitter rival.

Mukherjee himself felt slighted when he was passed over for the position of PM by the Congress High Command.

He always saw Manmohan Singh as a bureaucrat with no real sense of politics -- and did not conceal that in his close circles.

And when Singh took over as PM and Mukherjee had to play second fiddle as a minister in his cabinet, the wily Bengali Brahmin who has managed all important ministries never reconciled to it.

"He is the best Prime Minister India never had," columnist-editor Sunanda Dattaray once said of Pranab Mukherjee.

But the Congress and its High Command (controlled by the Gandhi family) thought otherwise.

So Mukherjee, whose rise during Indira Gandhi's time was followed by sidelining during the Rajiv-Sonia Gandhi era, was 'pushed upwards' as President so that Rahul Gandhi could be projected as PM.

By tapping into his political acumen and deep knowledge, Modi and the BJP only stands to gain and has nothing to lose, because Mukherjee is no Zail Singh or Pratibha Patil.

"He has a first rate intellect, he is much his own man and because he has no reason to feel obliged to the Gandhi family, the BJP, specially PM Modi, would have very good reasons to cultivate him," says a top Congress leader who is equally bitter with the dynasty culture in Congress.

Though their politics is so different, Modi and Mukherjee share their humble origins and both are personally very religious persons.

"They are self made men and both are where they are in their own right and because of their ability," the BJP leader said, but was not willing to be named.

If it would have been Pranab Mukherjee against Modi instead of Rahul Gandhi against Modi it would have been a tougher fight

LEAKED: Schedule of the BJP’s 2-day training program for its MPs at Surajkund
India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party organized an extensive 2-day training program for its MPs, at Surajkund on June 28th and June 29th. A lot of what happened during the program was kept under wraps, as the party had apparently issued a strict diktat to all its MPs against divulging anything to the ever-hungry media.

However, The UnReal Times, being the paragon of investigative journalism as it always has, brings you this exclusive schedule of what transpired during the 2-day event:
