The retail masterstroke seems to have worked. The Congress is at it again. They have decided to divert the attention of the entire nation from all relevant topics to a non-issue.
The stalemate in Parliament was part of design as the Congress waited till the Parliament session began to approve FDI in retail. However, it is now being felt that it has bitten more than it could chew. Just like the recent Ramdev and Anna episodes.

To become PM
BJP chief Nitin Gadkari has been doing some politics. The politician was once brushed aside by the power corridors of the city as a provincial leader not worthy of the post. But political conspiracies doing the rounds of the party circles state that he is placing himself as the prime ministerial aspirant for the next general elections.
Amongst the present lot he is considered the closest political leader in BJP to its ideological parent RSS. The party has already indicated that he will contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls, that Advani and Joshi will be in retirement, that no Rajya Sabha leader will be the PM and that Modi is an important state leader. Effectively ruling out all possible contenders.
