It doesn't matter who is the PM. Since the death of Indira Gandhi CM's are powerful than PM's. MGR, NTR and Jyoti Basu were more powerful than Rajiv Gandhi. Kalyan Singh was more powerful than PVN Rao during Babri masjid demolition. Narendra Modi was more powerful than Vajpayee during gujarat riots. Now the likes of Karunanidhi are more powerful than Manmohan singh. We live in a era of coalition politics, where states command more respect than center.
