So he plans to rule until he's 98? Does he expect a long retirement after that?

The rich and powerful keep trying to tell us they are sent by god or authorized by god to rule on us. They have done that since the dawn of civilization. It's our duty to remind them they are not, and that they are earthly and mortals.

What god exactly would that be? I thought Hinduism is polytheistic?

Yes, Hinduism is polytheistic. There is a hierarchy of the gods to a certain extent and depending on your sect the most important god can vary a little.

Though I suspect that this is just a translation issue. The interview is in Hindi( I think). I am guessing that the person who wrote the article was writing it for a American/British audience. They probably just decided to use the word god because it was easier and conveyed the messages better the intended audience.

What's stopping his rival to say, "No god spoke to me and said the opposite, dick face?"

Asking for real though.

2047 is oddly specific. Any significance to the year, or any kind of term limit?

India for independence in 1947 so 2047 is 100 years of Indian independence.
