The Hindu  

On the morning of February 6, newspaper readers in the capital woke up to a full >opening page Desperation to win The party pushed nearly all its Cabinet Ministers and 120 Members of Parliament into the campaign. The earlier questions had dealt with the party’s performance in government, its funding, and its leader Arvind Kejriwal using government-provided accommodation and security, despite promises to the contrary, in his 49-day stint as Chief Minister. But more than the disproportionate importance of the capital in national politics or the Delhi BJP’s need to end its losing streak, it is Mr. Modi and his protégé, party president Amit Shah, who >need to win Delhi. The party’s highest decision-making body, the Parliamentary Board, was not in the picture, nor was the Central Election Committee, when the former police officer joined the party. The party used the formula successfully under Mr. Shah in Uttar Pradesh when many former Congressmen won the Lok Sabha election on BJP tickets.
