failed to reconfigure itself to a changing urban India There are reasons why it is easy to understand the BJPs jubilation at the Gujarat SITs reprieve to Narendra Modiand there are reasons why it isnt For a full decade nowModi has been the partys unanointed leader A starcrowd-puller and vote-catcherthough that claim has never been proven outside his state So you can see why the BJP should be happy with what they see as Modi crossing one more hurdle on his way to the national stage The problemhoweveris that while he may fire the imagination of the faithfulhe would still bring no matter how many exonerations he collects the baggage of his past that will make it that much tougher for the BJP to rebuild NDA into a real claimant in 2014 In indictment as much as in exonerationthe Modi phenomenon cuts both ways It gets more votes from your ownbut raises barriers for many likely allies The issue with Modi is not legalbut political Even if he is never convictedor even charged by a court for any role in the 2002 riotshe will continue to be spoilt goods politically This will reduce the resultant NDA to three parties at best: the BJPAkali Dal and Shiv Senathe core of natural allies This is not the only contradiction the BJP has to deal with But this is the most challenging Modi cannot be the answer to their prayers in 2014 unless he can lead this three-member NDA to a 225-plus mark The rest will then be found among some of the regional partiesnotably one of the Dravidian parties Thatno matter how damaged the UPA is by 2014looks improbable That is whymoments of celebration at legal victories apartthe BJP has to rethink its politics and ideological offering more carefully if it has to have a chance The partys central problem is this: even more than who is whose natural allycoalitions in India will be formed on the basis of who will never go with whom Because of thisthe BJPeven with someone more widely acceptable than Modi in the leadwould need at least 200 seats in the Lok Sabha to have any chance of reaching that half-way markwhereas for the Congress150 could still be the 272 in 2014 This is easy to explain LK Advani often says he is open to aligning with anyone but the five parties that consider the BJP anti-national These are the Congressthe LeftSPRLD and IUML But of the rest tooany party with any hope of getting the Muslim vote would never join an NDA unless it is led by a Vajpayee-like inclusive personality The BJP hasnt got one even remotely like thatand Modi will be the exact opposite In factwith Modi as leaderthe alliance will find it impossible even to hold its biggest star todayNitish Kumar It was Vajpayees personality that brought MamataNaveen Patnaik and Chandrababu Naidu into the NDA With Modi in frontyou can write off all of these Even with a less controversial leadera first among equals who may emerge closer to the elections from the BJPs current top fiveit is difficult to see any of these satraps risking minority votesparticularly when the BJP as an ally cannot bring them many transferable votes in their respective states How does the BJP handle this challenge Or can it One way is to accept the limitations of its politics and look for that first among the equals outside For exampleNitishor a Nitish with multi-state appeal if he/she brings a large contingent of MPs That leader could then be the newnon-communal mukhauta (mask) of the BJP But ask any of the partys top five (Modi included) and they will ask youis that why you think they have been in public life for all these decades They see the Congress decliningits allies chafing and impatientstate after state falling to the oppositiona lurching governmenta punch-drunk Rahul and a less and less visible Sonia All thiswith a scam a daythe growing conflict between the government and the institutions and a fast vapourising growth storyconvince them that their moment has come The question they are ducking ishoweveris their politics ready to seize it In some ways it isbut in manymore important onesit isnt What works for them is their chief ministers and regional leaders The Congress has nobody even remotely comparable to ModiRaman SinghShivraj Singh ChouhanVasundhara RajePrem Kumar DhumalParkash Singh BadalNitish and even BS Yeddyurappa in their respective states If the Shiv Sena and the MNS somehow mergeor come closer in the next two yearsthe UPA will struggle to get even a third of the seats in Maharashtra But this is where the good news ends for the BJP They have wasted seven years now by failing to address the one issue that limits them to competing for not more than 70-75 per cent of the electorate even in the states where they are strong: suspicion of the minorities and the increasingly liberal-secular-modern urban Indian Modi apartmany other aspects of their politics are out of tune with the times It is one thing for them to get the secular partieseven UPA alliesto join hands with them in opposition to many central moveslike the NCTC and GST This is great for embarrassing the Congress But unless they move their ideological positioning absolutely to the centrethese alliances will remain transient and fail to grow into partnerships in power The BJPs economics is one more examplethough it is easier to rectify than Hindutva Every time they block a reformist move or legislationtheir own loyal as well as fence-sitting voters take note If they want an India closest to the socialist promise of the preamble of its Constitution as rewritten by a Parliament on stolen time in the Emergencywouldnt they rather vote for the UPA In marketing termsthenwhat product differentiation does the BJP offer And in the language of politicsyou may just ask them: why cant you see the writing on the wall

Fulton and Rutherford must have felt that it would be better to play in their domestic first class championships as the two-day practice game against India would be just a one-innings affair and thus would lack intensity “This match (Feb 2-3 practice game) because it’s a non-first class game and pretty much a practice game will be a single-innings affair” said Edgar “On reflection Peter Fulton and also Hamish Rutherford are now going to play Plunket Shield because they certainly have a chance to maybe get two innings instead of one” Talking particularly about Fulton he said “He (Fulton) also played in the New Zealand XI game against the West Indies (at Lincoln in November) and felt perhaps the intensity wasn’t quite there” In that practice match a handful of West Indian players were

good cricket It was a serious game of cricket to watch and be a part of I think it was a fair result in the end” he said “We are still playing good cricket and still in a good mind frame we have to keep going that way We are very much on target to win the series” he said “There were opportunities missed in the field With batting you sort of think you could have picked up a run here or there
