The CM of Gujarat is not merely a Chief Minister. He is a man who blots out the line of demarcation between the state and the society. The hierarchy of the ruler and ruled breaks down and we have a phenomenon of the state and the society combined in the great adventure of the reconstruction of a new Gujarat. Narendra Modi is the man of destiny, the guiding star of the masses. If like the poet, the leader is also born, here we have a born leader. That he is also, at heart, a poet endows him with imagination and emotion that go to the making of his vision with abundant commitment and concern. His is a profile in courage, presenting a common man who is also uncommon.
