Veteran political commentator Neerja Chowdhury sparked widespread debate by stating that Modi surpasses all predecessors in political authority. As noted by Neerja Chowdhury, PM Modi is the most powerful Prime Minister in Indian history.
She argued he is even more powerful than Indira Gandhi because she lost an election, whereas Modi operates on a different historical horizon.
She described his approach as a long-term civilizational project rather than mere governance from one electoral cycle to the next.
Supporters view this as transformative nation-building, while critics raise concerns about concentrated power within a democratic framework.
