For the author it is shocking to think that a constituency represented by Jawaharlal Nehru and Vijayalakshmi Pandit is now held by a man behind bars! What is so shocking, in democratic setup it is not at all shocking, any one can win from anywhere. Unlike many, he at least didn't fight election from behind bars. I wonder if, state killing of innocent muslims was found shocking by such authors in the land of the greatest indian icon of non-violence Mahatma Gandhi. And, the man who bloted the face of Gujrat and the whole nation is dreaming of becoming PM - see his popularity.
It reminds me, why outspoken Modi is silent over this entire issue of N-deal and UPA govt. Oh, yeah, his visa application is pending with US embassy. US is clever enough to hold it till the vote of confidence is passed.
