There is a demand from various quarters to the RSS that PM Modi should be replaced with the Union Minister Gadkari for the 2019 elections. A prominent Kisan leader from the BJP has written a letter to the RSS saying that the demonetisation, GST and the fuel prices were the arrogant and the anti-people decisions taken by the Government. That is the reason the BJP has lost the 3 states the Kisan leader stated.
There are rumours across the country in the BJP circles and also other sections stating that the BJP might change Modi and project Gadkari as the next PM candidate. Bullet trains and Metro rails will not get the Kisan leader from Maharashtra wrote in his long letter.
Some of the leaders opined that Gadkari was the National president for the BJP, as a union Minister he did well and has also worked for Maharashtra and he would suit for the PM post. There is an all round opinion that the Modi- Jodi shah have failed in protecting the poor and that they have done things which were useful for the rich. The NDA has lost the semifinals by losing the 3 states to the Congress.
