Modi and BJP

I must tell that BJP is hell-bent on grabbing power at the Centre and Modi is their 'posterboy'.
I fear for Modi's life and the threat perception which I feel comes not from Islamists or foreigners or even the Congress Party but I feel that Modi is facing clear threat from its own ranks.
We have seen in India it has happened way to often.
Indira Gandhi was assasinated and there was massive mandate for Congress Party and their leader Rajiv Gandhi.
Rajiv Gandhi was assasinated and then there was massive mandate again for Congress Party and though there was 'no family member' at the helm, still, PV Narsimha Rao became PM.
Thus there is the system of 'sympathy factor' and the public generally votes for 'succesors related to the one who has gone away'. It is nothing but the Shia system at work. As I have discussed earlier, India is mostly Shia and that is where the threat to Modi comes from. This sympathy factor is visible even in micro level in MP elections and Assembly elections apart from at the 'macro level'.
Modi is campaigning around the country. Basically he is backed. Backed by big business houses like Ambanis and Adanis. I fully subscribe to Aam Aadmi Party views in this matter. Basically whomsoever these big business houses back, he or she or they get to become in charge of the Govt. Then there are the 'foreigners' which includes US, Israel, UK, Canada, Australia, EU, etc. They are also backing Modi I feel. Foreigners want business to happen. They want a 'share of their pie'. They do not want the whole pie for themselves. But they want a share. And Modi can give them the share as the big business houses won't mind as they are getting their own share in foreign counties as well. Basically, it is a complex deal settling which is happening.
It is no co-incidence that Google India news feed is always full of news about Modi and so is the airtime in News channels. Basically big businesses have "bought these mediums" to show publicity about Modi. We know in the world "Money Talks" and the big businesses are making media talk about Modi through money which they are investing to get guaranteed returns later which is when Modi Saab comes to power.
Same is being pushed through Social media as well.
Modi is a person much like a puppet who is being used by these big business houses 'to fool the gullible Indian Public'. Indian Public may feel they are voting for an "Ironman" who will 'make things happen'. He will make things happen alright. He will make it happen for the big business houses.
But BJP and other 'majority right wing extremist elements' do not care about Modi. For them Modi is 'just one among them and not a Great Leader' and it is possible that they may be hatching plans to 'bump him off'. What will happen as a result of that? They will place blame on their favorite elements the Muslims and Muslims be become target of a massive backlash through riots and targeting of their homes and businesses like in 2002 or in case of Sikhs in 1984.
General Elections will be held and BJP will come with massive mandate which would not have happened if Modi were alive.
Thus BJP in their 'hunger for power' may do that and that may happen just before the elections so as to give the maximum benefit. Whatever we say, I will be pleased if none of that happens and there is no bloodshed and the actual deserving parties get their due.
