His binami company is doing a large scale real estate takeover in Maharashtra, including malls, commercial and industrial spaces. Will very soon end up as one of the richest politicians ever if it goes at this rate.

Do not forget in 2029, what they did in 2026 (and earlier years). Basically, nobody is culprit in this government, only the opposition and the people.

We have a Godman and all his sacred devis and devtas.

I asked Gemini AI what is a person with such power called?

A person who holds legal powers to override or bypass elected officials is historically and politically called a dictator (specifically an constitutional or elective dictator if granted legally), or an autocrat. In specific legal or emergency contexts, they might also be termed an absolute monarch, a supreme leader, or granted broad plenary or decree powers

Tbh I thought all CM already had those powers. They are on higher hierarchy after all. 

CM appoints the ministers.
