US Congressional Report jumpstarts race for next PM candidate

Even as L. K. Advani is preparing to start his Rath Yatra against corruption from Gujarat - a yatra seen by many as the start of his campaign for 2014 polls, a report tabled by the US Congressional Research Service has preempted the race to find the next prime ministerial candidate in India.

It is well-known that L. K. Advani has ambitions to become the country's Prime Minister, but today, 16 Sept 2011, he has also endorsed the US Congressional Research Service Report that Narendra Modi could well be BJP's PM candidate for the 2014 polls.

The report by the US Congressional Research Service has projected (though not explicitly) that the next parliamentary elections in India, which are scheduled for 2014, could be a Narendra Modi v/s Rahul Gandhi battle.

The report has acknowledged Narendra Modi's governance in Gujarat stating that it is the best example of effective governance in India. The same report has also described Nitish Kumar's governance also as a positive example. It also describes that since 2009 Mayawati's focus has shifted towards investment in infrastructure projects.
