NEW DELHI: While Narendra Modi goes around the country enthusing supporters and tryin
g to win over the undecided, BJP and RSS bigwigs are said to be drawing the contours of what a possible government led by the party could look like. These leaders, seemingly sure of a BJP victory, have constituted a possible Modi cabinet as they try and get a sense of who's in and who could be out.
Whether a Modi government will actually come to pass will be known only on May 16, when votes are counted. ET is merely reflecting the views of those engaged in the exercise.
Central to the discussion is party elder LK Advani, who will not allow the new leadership to sideline him.
It's more or less confirmed, the leaders insist, that he will become chairman of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, irrespective of the election result. Sources in the party claim that this is one assurance that Advani sought for agreeing to choose Gandhinagar as his parliamentary seat.
The imagined cabinet, according to a number of senior BJP and RSS leaders, looks somewhat like this: finance for Arun Jaitley, defence for Rajnath Singh, home for Manohar Parrikar, external affairs for Sushma Swaraj, human resources or urban development for Nitin Gadkari and agriculture for Sushil Modi. Investors will watching out keenly for who gets to become finance minister. Jaitley, for instance, has indicated that he may be open to 49% foreign direct investment in insurance, something ..
that was promised by the UPA but couldn't be implemented.
A Modi government, if it happens, is also likely to see Arun Shourie, probably as commerce minister. Apart from Goa chief minister Parrikar, Modi may bring other BJP leaders from the states to the Centre. Rajya Sabha members Smriti Irani, Purushottam Rupala and Piyush Goyal may also get cabinet berths. Leaders who were ministers in the previous NDA government such as Shahnawaz Hussain are also likely to be in the new one.
Modi's close aide Amit Shah is likely to hold an important position in the government and is tipped to be a minister without portfolio in the PMO, working in close proximity with Modi. "However, if BJP manages a very good show in Uttar Pradesh, where Shah is the incharge, then he may be elevated to the post of BJP president as well. This way Modi will be in control of both the government and the party," the leader added.
Modi is clear about one thing: good governance, said a senior BJP leader on condition of anonymity. At the time of government formation, it won't be about pandering to egos but getting the best man for the job, the person said. "His focus would be on delivering on his promises as he doesn't like to be on the losing side of a challenge."
Bureaucrats who served the Sangh and the party well may also get generously rewarded in a Modi government and be made ministers of state.
This may include home for RK Singh, external affairs for former IFS officer Hardeep Puri and defence for former general VK Singh. Second-rung leaders such as Varun Gandhi, Dharmendra Pradhan and JP Nadda will also look to be accommodated.

MediaCrooks: Fantasy Evidence For Hatred
Fantasy Evidence For Hatred
Sometimes the people you run into have interesting things to say, sometimes intriguing things. In autos, buses, trains, ships, planes and balloons. I too run into a lot of people. I remember that one time I was in bed and flying from Dindigul to Delhi and a co-passenger got chatting with me. Based on this mid-air encounter here’s what I tweeted on March 16, 2006:
That guy spoke the truth. Rajdeep Sardesai did get a Padma Shri in 2008. But seriously, how credible is a Padma award from Congress govt? By Rajdeep’s logic, since the SC, the SIT and the lower court are spurious where Gujarat 2002 and Narendra Modi are concerned the Padma given to him has no credibility. I could conclude by RS’s logic that the award was given to him was for Gandhi-family services (as my flight co-passenger told me) and not for any journalistic achievements. Fair enough?
Over the years you would have heard many such claims of strangers dropping juicy stuff into ears of media folks and other “specialists”. The pioneer has to be Shekhar Gupta. Almost every person, famous and ordinary, runs into Gupta and gives him juicy stuff. Read a sample here: “Over the past three weeks I have been stopped by ordinary people at airports, in shopping malls, at a petrol pump, in a spiritual ashram, at the national athletic games in Bangalore and so on with a question that seems to have become a clamour: why are you in the media so scared of the Gandhis”? Oh yeah! Why? I’ve been asking this question for long. Why do they piss in their pants and skirts when “Gandhi” is mentioned? Even folks at spiritual ashrams are confounded it seems as ShekharG tells us. But he has still not managed to answer the question though.
Then there used to be a guy called Markandey Katju who used to often rant against Modi through extensive sky-research. Read this: “I was flying from Delhi to Bhopal recently. Sitting beside me was a Gujarati businessman. I asked him his opinion of Mr. Modi. He was all praise for him. I interjected and asked him about the killing of nearly 2,000 Muslims in 2002 in Gujarat. He replied that Muslims were always creating problems in Gujarat, but after 2002 they have been put in their place and there is peace since then in the State. I told him this is the peace of the graveyard, and peace can never last long unless it is coupled with justice. At this remark he took offence and changed his seat on the plane”. So you see, such crap is the foundation of a whole article where an individual’s unverifiable gossip is peddled as the basis of a commentary on the entire state of Gujarat and Modi. Splendid! Of course, I don’t have to tell you that Katju is lying when he claims 2000 Muslims were killed. Well, I also suggested why not claim 10000 killed if you had to throw up a “Worli Matka” number? This is what the media has been doing for a long time, haven’t they?
The twisted Rajdeep claims someone told him about dictatorship on a flight. The same practice also continues in interviews with people. Anchors throw all kinds of questions with no evidence or basis. When the motive of an interview is to peddle a pre-set agenda of the anchor, it becomes plainly obvious to even the casual viewer. Rajdeep still claims the SC rejection, SIT findings and the lower court rejection of petitions trying to hold Narendra Modi responsible for Gujarat 2002 are unacceptable to many critics. Are court rulings subject to acceptance of critics? And who the hell are these critics? Well, members of the same filthy Hammam that Rajdeep represents; his anti-Modi, anti-Hindu gang. So it stands to reason that RS’s Padma award is also corrupt and purchased. There are many critics who question if he deserved it at all. How many of you agree this cheap propagandist deserved a Padma? Naturally, Rajdeep’s hatred takes it further when he is angry that a Muslim like MJ Akbar has joined the BJP after criticising the party and Modi for many years.
In an interview of MJA on March 24 Rajdeep asks him many questions which have no basis or are at best hypothetical. He asks MJA “Are you today giving Modi a clean chit”? Oh! So MJA is authorised to give clean chits? And is that even acceptable to a Gandhi-family poodle like Rajdeep? MJA explains that for 10 years Modi was scrutinised by every legal authority and that too under a non-BJP govt and they still couldn’t find any linkages to the riots but that is hardly acceptable to Rajdeep. Then RS asks MJA “So you were mistaken”? And MJA tells him bluntly “We were all mistaken in putting personal linkages. We should have the ability to accept the facts”. Unable to digest the truth RS then says “There have been many question marks over the SIT inquiry”. What are those questions? And who are the ones raising those questions. Even that was tested in the lower court at Ahmedabad and the questions rejected. I would have to say only predominantly anti-Hindu rogues like Rajdeep are raising those questions. It is not just because of Modi, it is because they hate the RSS, they hate the BJP and they hate anything that is remotely connected to Hindutva. To them Hindutva is “evil”.
Then RS asks “Are you saying Modi was a target of witch-hunt by journalists like you”? It doesn’t occur to the corrupt Rajdeep that that is a question he should ask his own mirror. And then follows another moronic question “Would Nehru approve of Modi’s version of secularism”? (That is India-first, no appeasement and so on). Who the hell is Nehru to approve of anything today? Would Nehru approve of corrupt and bribe-taking journos like Rajdeep? That is the question I would like to ask. A guy fired from IBN had protested, called Rajdeep a “Dalal” and asked how Rajdeep got his 52-crore bungalow. Where did Rajdeep get such money except by corrupt means and bribery? Who are the ones who paid this corrupt media crook? Any answers Rajdeep? MJA pointed out to RS that it’s a Congress govt at the Centre that hounded Modi through various agencies. Similarly, it is a Congress govt which has protected Rajdeep’s corruption so far. Isn’t that plausible? And that is why RS rants against Modi and continues his witch-hunt. Isn’t that true as well? Because a non-Congress govt will prosecute him for illegal wealth?
And the biggest concern for Rajdeep has been Muslims, Muslims, Muslims! And when MJA pointed out Congress has left Muslims impoverished, Rajdeep was not willing to listen. MJA at one point had to ask him to show the patience to “listen” as a journalist should. If there are Muslims opposed to Modi, there are also Muslims in favour of Modi. Rajdeep believes Muslims should hate Modi as much as he does and that’s his problem. Muslims themselves have as many opinions as is natural in a large population like India. But here’s a sample of Muslims:
Rajdeep’s hatred has closed his doors to all other points of view that Muslims hold. Perhaps he too desires Muslims must remain a downtrodden community who should not take their chances with another leader without being prejudiced by corrupt media morons like him. Failure is not a person, failure is a situation. That applies to a community too. Muslims are not failures. They have been forced to believe they are but it’s a “situation” they too can overcome if not led by selfish politicians and parties. Modi has no selfish motive. If he wants to lead India to a better future he seems to possess the ideas to do so and he has shown no signs like some dynastic cronies of personally enriching himself in doing so. This is probably what compels the likes of Akbar and Siddiqui to reverse their opinions about him. I have pointed at the corruption of Rajdeep for the simple principle that allegations hurled without evidence or based on hearsay from Salma or Sabrina on a flight doesn’t count. Anyone can hurl a thousand. The answer to such nonsense is what is called Hitchens’ Razor:
For 10 years Rajdeep and the other crooks in the media have hurled any number of allegations against Modi without any evidence. They must remember, it is easy to concoct Salma-Sabrina stories from flights, it is easy to throw allegations like Rajdeep’s 52 crore bungalow. Rajdeep was so rattled by the 52-crore allegation that he pleaded that video be removed (and it was removed from Youtube). Therefore, it demands that he too be careful on mindlessly continuing to hurl allegations against others, especially when the courts of the country have dismissed them. Respect the law, moron!
But Rajdeep does have one good habit though. Every night he sings a lullaby for his Twitter followers. But even MJA told him to complete the song “Chodo kal ki baaten” which he sang with the second line “Naya daur hai, nayi umang hai”. It’s not just MJA but even others are telling Rajdeep not to sing “incomplete” songs but to complete with the second lines which are often more important. Whispers on a flight, “He said, she said” kind of evidence, motivated pimpernels like Teesta or Sanjiv Bhatt do not constitute evidence. Teesta in all likelihood will be prosecuted and sent to jail. Rajdeep may have his fantasy islands of all such evidences and witnesses. In the end they couldn’t survive. RS claims he is not a Congress or Gandhi doormat. But if he observes his Twitter feed and comments on his articles the Congress supporters usually defend him staunchly. And just to tell him, even though this site is often called a RW site, MJ Akbar (who was very anti-Modi) was still voted one of the best journalists. Rajdeep must wonder why. Living in fantasy is not a crime, but living in fantasies filled with hatred will invariably take its toll.

BJP leader, wife caught taking Rs 10-lakh bribe - Hindustan Times
BJP leader Ganesh Malviya and his wife Poonam Rai, an income tax official, were arrested by the CBI on charges of accepting Rs. 10 lakh as bribe from a builder, on Saturday.
The builder, Rajesh Bhadoriya, has alleged that Malviya was using the BJP’s state headquarters in Bhopal’s Deendayal Parisar to strike ‘deals’ with influential people caught in the I-T net. Malviya is the co-convener of the party’s national election cell and has rubbed shoulders with the party’s top leadership, including Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
“Malviya called me to the BJP office on Friday night to demand money. The deal was settled in the media cell of the party office,” said Bhadoriya.
Bhadoriya, also from the BJP, is the state convener of the party’s cultural cell in MP.
Acting on Bhadoriya’s complaint, the CBI on Friday laid a trap and caught Malviya, his wife, a deputy I-T commissioner, and two others.
Bhadoriya’s, in his complaint, said they had sought a bribe from him to settle a pending I-T assessment matter of his firm.
Reacting to Malviya’s arrest, BJP state spokesperson Deepak Vijayvargiya said, “Malviya was appointed as party office-bearer by the BJP headquarters and only they are entitled to take action against them. We have informed them of the development.”
“We are not aware whether he was using the BJP office but it looks unlikely as he has his house in the city, where he would be more comfortable talking about the deal,” Vijayvargiya said.
'Anyone but Modi': many Indian Muslims fear the worst - Hindustan Times
Some recoil at his name, while others still refuse to acknowledge his popularity. India's Muslims have watched the rise of election frontrunner Narendra Modi anxiously and are now united in their wariness.

Many of the worshippers at the Jama Masjid Terhi Bazaar mosque in Ayodhya, a kilometre from India's most notorious religious flashpoint, were too young to remember the 1992 riots which left more than 2,000 people dead.
Not Mohammad Sageer, a teenager at the time of India's worst post-independence violence.
"What could be worse than seeing Muslims being beaten up, cut up and burned to death?" he told AFP in front of the small blue-coloured mosque bathed in harsh midday sunshine.
The dispute in Ayodhya, which boiled over when zealots tore down a mosque believed to have been built over the birthplace of the Hindu god Ram, left deep scars but vaulted Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to national prominence.
The enduring sensitivity can be judged by the police presence today. Each visitor negotiates five layers of security as they proceed under caged walkways topped by razor wire to the shrine at the centre.
From watchtowers and gathered in groups, paramilitary police keep guard, automatic weapons at the ready.
It is a potent reminder of the consequences when religious tensions in one of the world's most diverse countries, bound together by a secular and liberal constitution, are given vent.
Now wrapped up in India's famously inert legal system, the once-explosive dispute over ownership of the site has cooled in litigation.
"But if the BJP comes to power with a full fledged majority, then the atmosphere will become a bit tense here," warned Sageer, now aged 36.
Manifesto pledgeFor long a central plank of its agenda, the BJP manifesto still contains a pledge to construct a Ram temple on the site of the old Babri Masjid mosque.
Although largely overlooked due to his association with a more recent religious conflagration -- riots in his home state of Gujarat in 2002 -- Modi has links to this struggle too.
The 63-year-old, tipped to become prime minister after elections starting April 7, was an organiser in Gujarat for BJP leader L.K. Advani who began a nationwide march to demand a temple for Ram in 1990.
Biographer Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay said it was a role which enabled Modi "to burst onto the national political stage" as the huge agitation galvanised public support for the temple.
"The Muslim community is anxious about Modi," said Mujibur Rehman of the Centre for Minority Studies at Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia university.
"What scares Muslims is essentially that they are convinced that this is a person who doesn't have much respect for them, for their lives and for their future."
Modi's background, and his lack of outreach to religious minorities even during campaigning, gives them reasons for concern, Rehman said.
The strict vegetarian, who does yoga every day, joined a grassroots Hindu nationalist group as a boy, entered the BJP at a time of deteriorating inter-religious ties, and is tainted by the 2002 riots.
In that spasm of violence, more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, died.
Modi had just become chief minister of Gujarat at the time and has been repeatedly investigated -- and never found guilty -- over suspicions he did too little to prevent the bloodshed.
A woman he later appointed as a cabinet minister was jailed for life for orchestrating some of the worst of the killing.
When his aide Amit Shah called for a Ram temple in Ayodhya while visiting last July, some worried that the dispute's embers could be reignited.
"Not Modi. I wouldn't want to see someone like Modi in my lifetime," says Haji Mahboob Ahmad, head of the group defending the right of Muslims to worship at the contested site in Ayodhya. "Anyone but him."
Toilets, not templesDuring campaigning, Modi has presented himself as a moderate nationalist focused on economic development and good governance.
"For me my religion is 'nation first, India first'," he has told rallies, adding that the constitution was his "only holy book" and that toilets should come first, "temple later".
He also came as close as ever to apologising for the 2002 riots, saying he felt "grief" and "misery".
But his decision to contest a seat from the Hindu holy city of Varanasi was a reminder to supporters that he had not forgotten his roots.
And he has also spoken about how "75 percent of people" in India -- meaning Hindus -- have been ignored by the Congress party, in power for the last decade.
Muslims account for around 13 percent of India's population.
Any Hindutva agenda he might seek to project in power would likely be limited by the compulsions of coalition politics.
A BJP parliamentary majority is highly unlikely, although some supporters still dream of what it could lead to.
"If a Hindu party wins a majority of votes then we will ask that a law be passed by parliament to free Ram's birthplace and it be given to the Hindu community," Sharad Sharma from the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP, World Hindu Council) told AFP in Ayodhya.
Around him, stone carvers chiselled away at pieces of an under-construction Ram temple overseen by the VHP which many hope will one day take form on the site of the former mosque.
BJP leader Ganesh Malviya and his wife Poonam Rai, an income tax official, were arrested by the CBI on charges of accepting Rs. 10 lakh as bribe from a builder, on Saturday.
The builder, Rajesh Bhadoriya, has alleged that Malviya was using the BJP’s state headquarters in Bhopal’s Deendayal Parisar to strike ‘deals’ with influential people caught in the I-T net. Malviya is the co-convener of the party’s national election cell and has rubbed shoulders with the party’s top leadership, including Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
“Malviya called me to the BJP office on Friday night to demand money. The deal was settled in the media cell of the party office,” said Bhadoriya.
Bhadoriya, also from the BJP, is the state convener of the party’s cultural cell in MP.
Acting on Bhadoriya’s complaint, the CBI on Friday laid a trap and caught Malviya, his wife, a deputy I-T commissioner, and two others.
Bhadoriya’s, in his complaint, said they had sought a bribe from him to settle a pending I-T assessment matter of his firm.
Reacting to Malviya’s arrest, BJP state spokesperson Deepak Vijayvargiya said, “Malviya was appointed as party office-bearer by the BJP headquarters and only they are entitled to take action against them. We have informed them of the development.”
“We are not aware whether he was using the BJP office but it looks unlikely as he has his house in the city, where he would be more comfortable talking about the deal,” Vijayvargiya said.
'Anyone but Modi': many Indian Muslims fear the worst - Hindustan Times
Some recoil at his name, while others still refuse to acknowledge his popularity. India's Muslims have watched the rise of election frontrunner Narendra Modi anxiously and are now united in their wariness.

Many of the worshippers at the Jama Masjid Terhi Bazaar mosque in Ayodhya, a kilometre from India's most notorious religious flashpoint, were too young to remember the 1992 riots which left more than 2,000 people dead.
Not Mohammad Sageer, a teenager at the time of India's worst post-independence violence.
"What could be worse than seeing Muslims being beaten up, cut up and burned to death?" he told AFP in front of the small blue-coloured mosque bathed in harsh midday sunshine.
The dispute in Ayodhya, which boiled over when zealots tore down a mosque believed to have been built over the birthplace of the Hindu god Ram, left deep scars but vaulted Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to national prominence.
The enduring sensitivity can be judged by the police presence today. Each visitor negotiates five layers of security as they proceed under caged walkways topped by razor wire to the shrine at the centre.
From watchtowers and gathered in groups, paramilitary police keep guard, automatic weapons at the ready.
It is a potent reminder of the consequences when religious tensions in one of the world's most diverse countries, bound together by a secular and liberal constitution, are given vent.
Now wrapped up in India's famously inert legal system, the once-explosive dispute over ownership of the site has cooled in litigation.
"But if the BJP comes to power with a full fledged majority, then the atmosphere will become a bit tense here," warned Sageer, now aged 36.
Manifesto pledgeFor long a central plank of its agenda, the BJP manifesto still contains a pledge to construct a Ram temple on the site of the old Babri Masjid mosque.
Although largely overlooked due to his association with a more recent religious conflagration -- riots in his home state of Gujarat in 2002 -- Modi has links to this struggle too.
The 63-year-old, tipped to become prime minister after elections starting April 7, was an organiser in Gujarat for BJP leader L.K. Advani who began a nationwide march to demand a temple for Ram in 1990.
Biographer Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay said it was a role which enabled Modi "to burst onto the national political stage" as the huge agitation galvanised public support for the temple.
"The Muslim community is anxious about Modi," said Mujibur Rehman of the Centre for Minority Studies at Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia university.
"What scares Muslims is essentially that they are convinced that this is a person who doesn't have much respect for them, for their lives and for their future."
Modi's background, and his lack of outreach to religious minorities even during campaigning, gives them reasons for concern, Rehman said.
The strict vegetarian, who does yoga every day, joined a grassroots Hindu nationalist group as a boy, entered the BJP at a time of deteriorating inter-religious ties, and is tainted by the 2002 riots.
In that spasm of violence, more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, died.
Modi had just become chief minister of Gujarat at the time and has been repeatedly investigated -- and never found guilty -- over suspicions he did too little to prevent the bloodshed.
A woman he later appointed as a cabinet minister was jailed for life for orchestrating some of the worst of the killing.
When his aide Amit Shah called for a Ram temple in Ayodhya while visiting last July, some worried that the dispute's embers could be reignited.
"Not Modi. I wouldn't want to see someone like Modi in my lifetime," says Haji Mahboob Ahmad, head of the group defending the right of Muslims to worship at the contested site in Ayodhya. "Anyone but him."
Toilets, not templesDuring campaigning, Modi has presented himself as a moderate nationalist focused on economic development and good governance.
"For me my religion is 'nation first, India first'," he has told rallies, adding that the constitution was his "only holy book" and that toilets should come first, "temple later".
He also came as close as ever to apologising for the 2002 riots, saying he felt "grief" and "misery".
But his decision to contest a seat from the Hindu holy city of Varanasi was a reminder to supporters that he had not forgotten his roots.
And he has also spoken about how "75 percent of people" in India -- meaning Hindus -- have been ignored by the Congress party, in power for the last decade.
Muslims account for around 13 percent of India's population.
Any Hindutva agenda he might seek to project in power would likely be limited by the compulsions of coalition politics.
A BJP parliamentary majority is highly unlikely, although some supporters still dream of what it could lead to.
"If a Hindu party wins a majority of votes then we will ask that a law be passed by parliament to free Ram's birthplace and it be given to the Hindu community," Sharad Sharma from the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP, World Hindu Council) told AFP in Ayodhya.
