Lal Krishna Advani: PM in waiting is over, now it is President in waiting

Next month, country is going to elect its fourteenth President and the ruling party at the Centre BJP has picked Bihar Governor Ram Nath Kovind for the highest post.

MODI-FYING INDIA

In April, two Indian writers published an ode to their Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Titled \"Forever in Our Hearts,\" it recounts his achievements while singing his praises. Such gushing reverence captures the essence of Modi's popularity at home and among Indians abroad. But it also points to some darker developments in the world's largest democracy, as its citizens head to the polls.
