Only a few, however, wield any real influence in resolving complex and crucial issues. So, even as the last 10 UPA years demonstrated that actual power might lie outside the prime ministers ambit, the biggest change after these Lok Sabha elections has been correcting this anomaly. Political power has returned to 7 RCR, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi firmly in the saddle. The clear mandate for Modi has also reconfigured internal power equations within the BJP and the saffron Parivar. So, while RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will continue to wield moral authority over ideological underpinnings of the government, it is Modis trusted aides- BJP President Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, for long the Prime Ministers biggest champion in Delhi-who remain the two key men assisting him in redrawing the political landscape. The others wielding influence in the new set-up are former BJP president Rajnath Singh, who demonstrated courage to overrule the old guard and pitchfork Modi in this summers elections, and technocrats Manohar Parrikar and Suresh Prabhu, who bring clinical administrative and policy acumen to the table. RSS pracharak Ram Madhav, meanwhile, will seek to strike ideological cohesion with the Parivars larger political objectives. Rahul Gandhis flop show in these polls brings Sonia Gandhi back into the reckoning to lead the opposition-or whatevers left of it-with Sharad Pawar, the wily Maratha satrap, playing the joker in the pack with his flexible political moves. NARENDRA MODI 64, Prime Minister (1) The Achiever Because he proved the sceptics wrong and fashioned the grandest victory for the BJP in Indias history, thus changing the political landscape forever. because he is the first Indian to win on a slogan of development, thus defying political pundits who said caste and religion were the key basis of political endorsement in the country.

SONIA GANDHI Sonia GandhiSonia Gandhi67,CONGRESS PRESIDENT (1) Lone Star because despite a humiliating defeat in the 2014 polls, she remains the most acceptable and undisputed leader of the Congress party.
