 मित्रांनो डोक्यात द्वेष भावना न ठेवता अतिशय प्लेन माईंड ने एक वेळेस अवश्य वाचा. काही कळत आहे का, लक्षात येत आहे का..? बघा. मोदीजींच्या लोकप्रियतेची सहा रहस्ये... भारतात आजवर अनेक लोकप्रिय नेते होऊन गेले. पण या सगळ्यांच्या लोकप्रियतेचे विक्रम नरेंद्र मोदींनी मोडीत काढले आहेत असं म्हणता येईल. आणि काही मूठभर द्वेष्टे सोडले तर हे कोणी नाकारणारही नाही.  स्वतंत्र भारतात इंदिरा गांधी आणि अटलबिहारी वाजपेयी यांना प्रचंड लोकप्रियता लाभली. 'आजवरचे सर्वोत्तम पंतप्रधान कोण' या वेळोवेळी होत असलेल्या सर्वेक्षणात या दोघांनाच आलटून पालटून पसंती मिळत आली. पण त्यांची अप्रूव्हल रेटिंग्ज कधी 40-45 टक्क्यांच्या पुढे गेली नाहीत.  इंडिया टुडेने नुकत्याच घेतलेल्या ' मूड ऑफ द नेशन पोल ' मध्ये मोदींना असलेला लोकांचा पाठिंबा 70 - 90 टक्क्यांपर्यंत जाऊन पोचला आहे ! हे ऐकून राजदीप सरदेसाईला बसलेला धक्का आणि झालेली चिडचिड बघण्यासारखी होती. 2014 आणि 2019 मध्ये वाढत्या बहुमताने निवडून आलेल्या मोदींची लोकप्रियता कोविड आणि चिनी आक्रमणाच्या काळातही सतत वाढतच आहे आणि आता विक्रमी पातळीवर पोचली आहे.  इतक...
