Given current situation and a series of corruption allegations on current Government of India, political pundits are loud in speculating early general elections in India. Hard truth is that none of the national political parties is ready for an early election. At this point of time, I believe that the next general elections will be held only in 2014, any time between months of March to May. So, who do you you think will be the next Prime Minister of India? The common voice suggests next general elections as direct fight between Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi, however, I do not agree with this speculation.
There are FOUR possibilities –
1. If United Progressive Alliance (UPA) comes back into the power and Congress either keeps the same count of seats or wins less than 200 seats and yet comes out as a single largest party.
In this scenario, it may be possible that the current Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh will continue his role. If he excuses himself from shouldering the responsibilities on health grounds, then the party president, Ms. Sonia Gandhi, may pick any of her lieutenants other than her own son, Rahul Gandhi.
2. If Congress wins more than 250 seats on its own and UPA comes back into the power.
In such case, If Manmohan Singh steps aside, Rahul Gandhi may get elected as a unanimous choice of the party for the post. Ms. Priyanka Gandhi should be considered as a dark-horse in the race and at the same time Ms. Sonia Gandhi can never become the PM of India.
3. If National Democratic Alliance (NDA) comes into power and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) manages to become the single largest party.
BJP is one political party that has many incumbents who are aspiring to become the Prime Minister. Some of aspirants are:
a. Lal Krishna Advani, the senior most member of the party, and former Deputy PM in the previous regime of NDA,
b. Arun Jaitley, Leader of Opposition in the Upper House
c. Sushma Swaraj, Leader of Opposition in the Lower House
d. Nitin Gadkari, Party President, BJP
e. Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat, the most successful CM in BJP ruled states
Despite huge backing from general public and party workers, Narendra Modi does not seem to have sufficient support of other partners of NDA. If he is pitched in as Prime Ministerial candidate, many anti-Modi partners of NDA will move out of the alliance thereby keeping the political stage very wide and open.

Louis, no one can give good future to their kids if the environment is not feasible. You cannot keep your kids within the four walls of your house. They need to move out and be a part of the society. In society, they will find various kinds of people, corrupt, criminals etc. Therefore, we cannot ignore things that are happening in our nation and society.
