Reason:he has been able to stay in power inspite of all the nonsense by ppl like mamta, etc. he is the right person in the wrong camp. wel,, there is no right camp in indian politics. only few politicians like atalji, p.chidambaram iyya, chandra babu naidu gaaru and joti basuji make life a life for us indians, in the dirty world of laloos, azhars,jayalalithas and narasimha raos. out of all the worthy ppl, atalji seems to be the most deserving, cos, mr basu has quit the race, chidambaram is not in power, naidu cosentrates more on the IT and commerce sectror and slightly neglects the rural area -this was prived during the andhra floods-. thus it is the prime minister who is the most eligible winner for having faced all the problems, handled them with intelligence and quick wittedness and most of all saving the country from facing the expence of another election.
