DC Edit | Gadkari’s exit to further boost Modi-Shah clout

Deccan Chronicle  

The heavy hand of inner-party competition appears to have descended on Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari, who is a heavyweight politician by any reckoning, and is a former BJP president. Yet, Mr Gadkari’s name did not figure in the revamped parliamentary board, the ruling party’s most important decision-making body, of which he had been a member of long standing. In light of the transport minister’s putatively strained ties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it is unlikely the man from Nagpur would be surprised by the changes to the parliamentary board announced on Wednesday. Since Mr Gadkari has been packed off, the hand of the Prime Minister and his nearest ally in Delhi, Amit Shah, the Union home minister, would appear to have guided the party chief’s action.
