The game of politics has become very interesting, and sinister, in Rajasthan. At the time of this writing, Prime Minister Ashok Gehlot's brother had been raided. It doesn't take a genius to link this to the attempt to topple the Congressional government in Rajasthan.
This is an act of frustration on the part of the BJP, which is understandable because since Narendra Modi assumed leadership of the party and government, this is the first time that his efforts have come with equal revenge.
Ashok Gehlot has been an equal match for Modi's kind of politics; It has shown remarkable resistance and aggression. He has come to realize that if you take on the caliber of Modi and Amit Shah, playing defense is suicidal. So he has decided to fight with the same vigor, vitality, enthusiasm, and venom.
Unlike Kamal Nath in Madhya Pradesh and H D Kumaraswamy in Karnataka, Gehlot has not meekly surrendered. He knows that his government has a large majority, but he is in attack mode.
Much of the power Modi has acquired is the result of his gladiator instincts. For him, every battle is a matter of life and death. He fights as if his whole life depended on it, as if it were his last battle. He never imagines defeat and, in the process, gives it his all.
For him, politics is not a moral game, it is about total control and power, and he and Shah are experts in how to use that power to defeat, deflect and destroy opponents. Since Modi became prime minister, Indian politics has taken a decisive turn. He suffers no rivals in the match, nor opponents outside the match, and if there is one, then he must be defeated and annihilated without the possibility of recognition.
