Meeting-Meeting game
They are calling it the meeting-meeting game in the Indian Capital. The PM, Narendra Modi, is busy wooing industrialists in Britain to invest in India. His cabinet colleagues are busy meeting dissidents to soothe fraying tempers post the Bihar debacle. Who is the latest dissident on prowl? Yashwant Sinha, who recently met both LK Advani and Murali Manohar Joshi. And who is the man following the dissidents? FM Arun Jaitley, who rushed to meet both Advani and Joshi immediately after Sinha left.

Modi stay, Amit go
A significant chunk of BJP, post the Bihar crisis, is sanguine that Amit Shah must resign as party president. Shah will have a chance to renew his claim to the hot seat in December-January. The reasons are clear. The man in the hot seat will be in power till 2019, when the nation will go for Parliamentary polls. Shah, it is clear, cannot be the unanimous choice. So who will it be? Someone who was named president but eventually had to step down following false charges of financial irregularity? His support, many claim, is growing rapidly.
