Author and academician Anand Ranganathan appeared on popular YouTuber Raj Shamani’s channel almost three months ago in 2023’s November but a snippet from his nearly one hour appearance on the podcast has now gone viral on Instagram. In the clip that has been trimmed from the conclusion of the podcast video, Shamani questioned Ranganathan on who he believed should be India’s next prime minister. Ranganathan quickly responded with his top 3 list namely – Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Yogi Adityanath.
When quizzed on Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari’s chances of becoming the next PM, Ranganathan quipped, “He’s not human, he’s alien," before adding: “The kind of things he has done, it’s not humanly possible."
Giving an example of a classroom, Ranganathan stated that the most hardworking student also gets the most work. He further added that he wouldn’t want Gadkari to be burdened by any more added responsibilities that come with being a prime minister of the nation only because Gadkari was already occupied with the progress and transformation of India.

“The number of highways we have made in 70 years, half of them this fellow has made in 5 years. The number of roads, the infrastructure, what is he doing? Why don’t we have 10 Gadkaris?"
He concluded by saying that even if the nation had 10 Gadkaris, they shouldn’t be burdened with more work.
