What's happening to our Prospective Prime Ministers???

One politician who could surely be called Prime Minister material and whom India has lost is Pramod Mahajan.

Pramod Mahajan is one of the few politicians I look upon to. Be it his charisma or his tech savviness, Pramod Mahajan has always been a leader of today's youth. He was to BJP a ray of hope. An excellent fund raiser. A dynamic organizer. To India he could have been a good Prime Minister. And to Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he was 'Lakshman'. His loss surely leaves a void which cannot be filled very easily. He did to BJP what Rajiv Gandhi did to Congress. But, both of them failed to live to see their dreams get executed.

Now, this brings us to an issue which deserves a lot of consideration. India has off-late lost a number of politicians who could be considered prospective Prime Ministers. And this phenomenon is not confined to either the BJP or the Congress alone. Both of them have been on the losing end.

Let me begin with Rajiv Gandhi. I would have surely voted for him, had I been able to when he was alive. The dynamism and charisma which he carried can be found in very few other leaders. Consider an India with him as the Prime Minister, for say one tenure at least. May be, this is why he was assassinated.

Next, I would like to focus upon two leaders who were contemporaries of Rajiv Gandhi. Rajesh Pilot and Madhavrao Scindia.

Both Rajesh Pilot and Madhavrao Scindia were very high profile and had a decent probability of being Prime Ministers. Had even one of them been alive, the country would'nt have had to face the threat of having an Italian as a Prime Minister. But both of them died in bizarre accidents. Bizarre because, no one could conclusively say what happened or why it so happened.
Now, can you strike the commonality in these tragic deaths. If I was reading Sidney Sheldons with twisty CIA plots aimed at killing leaders of Communist countries I would have jumped to this conclusion. Some foreign entity may want to deprive India of good leaders. Well, its for you to decide.

Are we cursed or is the curse being inflicted upon us......
