Is there any possibility of Mr Kejriwal being next PM?

Right now, based on current political reality and public discussion in India, the chance of Arvind Kejriwal becoming the next Prime Minister is very low, but not completely impossible.

In today’s situation, Indian politics is mainly dominated by large national parties that have strong presence across most states. To become Prime Minister, a leader must have either:

1. A party with a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, or
2. A strong national coalition where many parties support one leader.

At present, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is still largely seen as a regional party, with strong influence in Delhi and some impact in Punjab. Outside these states, its presence is limited compared to major national parties. Because of this, it is very difficult for AAP alone to win enough seats nationwide to make Mr. Kejriwal Prime Minister.

Also, current political trends show that national elections are highly competitive and depend on strong organization, alliances, and nationwide appeal. Leaders who become Prime Minister usually have a long-established presence across the country or lead a very large coalition.

That said, politics can change over time. If AAP expands significantly in more states, builds strong alliances, and increases its national vote share, then its position could improve in the future. Mr. Kejriwal is known for focusing on governance issues like education, healthcare, and electricity, which has given him a positive image among many urban voters. But converting that popularity into nationwide electoral success is a much bigger challenge.

Another realistic factor is coalition politics. In Indian history, several Prime Ministers have come from coalition governments. So theoretically, if AAP becomes a key partner in a future alliance and Kejriwal is accepted by other major parties, his chances could increase. However, at present, there is no strong indication of such a scenario developing.

In conclusion, based on today’s political situation, Arvind Kejriwal becoming the next Prime Minister is unlikely in the near term, but in politics nothing is permanently fixed. If his party grows nationally and political conditions shift, the possibility could change in the long run.

Chances are very marginal. In fact, one can say there’s no way that Arvind Kejriwal can be the next Prime Minister of India. And there are plenty of reasons behind that.

He evidently lacks the kind of diplomacy and approach that is required to be the PM. He is more of a confrontation type individual who believes in radical reforms. To that, if his past record suggests anything, it is he lose track of goals very quickly, which could turn fatal for the country. For example, he became a prominent leader out of his fight against corruption. Once in power, he jumped into tackling issues like electricity and water. Forward, he and his administration are in the mix of education and healthcare problems. Now it is not to say that the issues he picks are of less importance. But he jumps ships and leave the other important issues at large. In short, he lacks the patience and the multi-tasking ability to be PM.

To that, the central government also must act in sync with the state governments for general good of all. However, we have seen in the past that the expectations for cooperation between Aam Aadmi Party and other political parties is all fantasy. Kejriwal, in his drive to fight conventional politics, doesn’t get along very well with other party leaders. (AAP’s continuous clashes with MCD is very good example of this.)

Mr. Kejriwal has championed the art of McCarthyism. His baseless allegations against anyone and everyone have lost his credibility. To that, his own ex-party members like Yogendra Yadav, Prasant Bhusan and Vinod Binny have put serious allegations against him, which has tainted his image as a ‘simple man with good intentions’.

While AAP is in majority in Delhi, their policies and overall attitude has totally put off their voters, with Delhites asking for change in the government already.

In short, Arvind Kejriwal doesn’t qualify to be Prime Minister of this country from any angle. However, maybe with time he will grow as a leader. After all, the current PM of India Mr. Narendra Modi, once was the Chief Minister of Gujarat and 2002 riot put a big blot on this image, which still haunts him (one of the major reasons why he is, right now, a media-shy person, avoiding any scope of interviews and media interaction with those outlets who aren’t a sellout).

So like Mr. Modi, Kejriwal can too grow from CM to PM in the coming decade. But as of now, he isn’t a PM material. And with the way he is striding forward, it looks like he will never be.

Who is the Arvind kejriwal?
