Modi will not be next PM of India: Kuldip Nayar

Veteran Indian journalist Kuldip Nayar says he believes Narendra Modi will not be the next Prime Minister of India and that he has reasons to believe that.
Speaking at a roundtable in Dhaka Saturday he said even if Modi comes to power, “there is constitution, courts, media and liberal voices in the country which will fight against communalism”.
The senior journalist was allaying Bangladesh’s concerns over Modi’s “controversial statements” on Bangladesh’s “illegal migrants” in India, according to a news agency.
Modi in elections campaign recently said ‘illegal Bangladeshi migrants in India should pack and leave’ on May 16 when the elections result would come out.
The BJP leader is widely believed to be the next Prime Minister particularly after media surveys predict victory for his party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), though analysts say those opinion polls do not always stand correct. Nayar said Modi made those statements “only to communalise the elections”. He, however, said his speeches have already been “mellowed-down”.
“He says ‘I have to carry everyone to govern the country’”, the veteran journalist pointed out. “It’s a vast country, it’s very difficult to govern,” Nayar said.
Modi, however, already clarified his position about Bangladesh in North India late on Friday.
“I will make every effort to have the best possible relations with Bangladesh in areas of trade, culture and much else. Our relations will surely improve,” Modi told journalists while shuttling between several North Indian locations.
