    1. One of the things about this Gadkari issue is this -if he stays the media narrative forces ideology inspired BJP supporters into a tizzy.

    2.However, if Gadkari goes, one of the presumptions of BJP supporters is that it will help BJP wrest back the moral initiative from Congress

    3. The issue is - it never works that way in real life politics. If Gadkari goes now, this will have implications for a decade or more.

    4. Look at how the Bangaru Laxman story still plays, 10 years after it broke. Or more recently, the Yeddyurappa gambit of BJP.

    5. Almost every case against Yeddy is being thrown out by courts - yet for every charge against Congress, Yeddy is thrown back at BJP.

    6. If Gadkari goes now, none in the Congress will go for equality. That would have happened in a fair politic with fair media. Nor India.

    7. So two years from now, in 2014, the play will be - BJP, your President went on corruption charges. How dare you question Congress?

    8. BJP will of course say what about Vadra etc. But the thing is - only Gadkari will have resigned and thus accepted culpability, not Vadra.

    9. So perceptionally, only Gadkari & BJP would seem to be punished. Congress will say, charges against were false, since no one went.

    10.This falling on moral knife never helps-did BJP gain anything by letting Yeddy go?Did media go after Congress?Did BJP get brownie points?

    The "moral principles" argument is a self inflicted injury of BJP. Either BJP can ONLY be moral, or can practice realpolitik.Cannot do both.

    However, they real issue in the whole Gadkari issue is internal. Media in this case is only a tool. That is why, more complicated.

    One of the faults of Gadkari was that he made no friends in the existing power structure of BJP. That may be his undoing after all.

    Gadkari took on Modi / Advani on Sanjay Joshi issue, and others during Jharkhand, Rajasthan. No real friends. This will hurt him.

    Perceptionally, BJP will gain nothing, in medium term, by letting Gadkari go now. He should go for other reasons. Not this.

    Perfectly logical for Gadkari not to have a second term. His record does not warrant such an honor. But he should not go for this.

    If Gadkari goes for this, this will be an albatross around like BJP neck. Pretty much like Bangaru Laxman one. He must not go for this.

    1. You see Salman Khurshid. He has a clear cut case of forgery. Yet he has blustered his way. Media talking heads support him. He survives.

    2. Two years from now, what do you think will be a hostile media narrative at election time - BJP you lost your President. Congress - none?

    3. Congress has LOST NO ONE due to corruption. None. Even Kalmadi has no charge-sheet against him. All sacrificed are ally pawns.

    4. So think of the narrative at elections time, even with Modi as PM candidate - BJP you dare talk of corruption? You lost your President.

    5. And thus, corruption will be neutralized as an issue. And media narrative will be back on 2002 and secularism and communal violence bill

    PM sleeps over 2G while Heads #CoalGate ministry. Salman Khurshid indulges in alleged forgery. Vadra has a miraculous rise. Did anyone go?

    Virbhadra Singh has an open & shut case of scam even as per media. Did he go? Is he being shunted out? What about Sheila Dixit? Did she go?

    Chidambaram and his son are accused of defrauding the nation. Any inquiry against him? Did he go?
