Will first Hindu PM of UK Rishi Sunak stay or be thrown out by Britishers?

The first Hindu Prime Minister of Britain Rishi Sunak will remain in power or be thrown out by the majority White Protestant Christians is the moot question going around. Though Sunak himself dismissed suggestions that he was headed to defeat in the July 4 general election, using one of his final televised appearances to defend the Conservatives’ record on the economy.

Sunak told the BBC that he believed he’d still be in power by the end of the week, despite opinion polls that have found Sunak trailing far behind the opposition Labour Party of Keir Starmer.

“I’m fighting very hard,” Sunak said. “And I think people are waking up to the real danger of what a Labour government means.”

While he acknowledged that the last few years “had been difficult for everyone,” Sunak declared it was “completely and utterly wrong” to suggest that Britain’s place in the world has diminished since Brexit.

“It’s entirely wrong, this kind of declinist narrative that people have of the U.K. I wholeheartedly reject,” he said. “It (the U.K.) is a better place to live than it was in 2010.”

After 14 years of Conservative-led governments, many voters blame the party for Britain’s cost-of-living crisis, long waiting lists for health care, high levels of immigration and the dislocations caused by Britain’s departure from the European Union.

Sunak a practicing Hindu and Indian by origin became the prime minister in Oct 2022 in a country where just 75 years back many places used to proudly display signs saying DOGS AND INDIANS NOT ALLOWED. He has tried to silence his critics by arguing that his policies have begun to solve Britain’s problems and warning that Starmer, the Labour leader, would raise taxes if his party wins the election. However will he survive the backlash from British nationalists.
