I got the distinct feeling that Sheela Bhatt's piece may have been written by a BJP press relations officer. "Desperate gamble for President?" Really???!!! The Congress may be anxious, but it has the upper hand, esp given Mayawati's legal travails. Bhatt is either uninformed, or unnecessarily painting the Congress president as "desperate" and scheming. In journalistic parlance, these headlines are termed "false excitement".
