Who Can Replace Modi as PM
Current Political Pressures
Modi faces mounting domestic challenges tracked across 100 recent events. Recent protests over voter rolls and controversy surrounding the election chief reflect growing dissatisfaction with governance. These signals indicate potential vulnerability in Modi's political position heading into future electoral cycles.

The Congress party and regional parties remain potential alternative power centers.
