RSS Mouthpiece Queers Pitch, Bats for Narendra Modi as PM Candidate

Narendra Modi obtained a taken in the arm with another Sangh Parivar publication, Planner, declaring that only the Gujarat CM has the possible to launch the celebration to energy single-handedly, just like Atal Bihari Vajpayee did in the 1990s.

The perspective is considerable because BJP has shied away from punctuation out its selection for PM, and because of the evaluation in the political teams that the projector screen of Modi as the candidate for the top job is going to obtain powerand may become almost unbeatable if he wins the assembly polls slated be sortedlater this season.

Will Swing votes in BJP’s favour

The Planner content requires go on all the justifications marshalled by those who think Modi’s projector screen will harm the BJP; generally that labeling the hardliner as the excellent ministerial selection would further undercut its already limited public charm and placing off NDA companions like Bihar CM Nitish Kumar who wish to win over the Islamic election.

He argues that the limitation can be overcome by projecting a strong leader “whose appeal transcends state boundaries”, and who “would give BJP’s campaign a nationwide momentum and help it make substantial gains even in non-BJP strongholds”.

It also joins issue with the argument that Modi’s projection will scare away allies, channeling the view of the Hindutva hardliners in BJP that finding partners will not be a problem so long as the party is seen as a winning ticket. “The number of BJP allies grew between 1996 and 1999 principally because regional parties saw an accretion in their strength owing to the incremental role that Vajpayee had delivered to them.

Advani, Sushma give Mumbai BJP rally a miss

BJP rallies held after meetings of its national executive are intended to beam a unity message and rally the cadre. But such is the party’s factional dynamics that the absence of senior leaders L K Advani and Sushma Swaraj at Friday’s rally spurred talk of a deliberate snub.

Swaraj and Advani skipping the show led to speculation that they had kept away due to their unhappiness over BJP chief Nitin Gadkari being given a second consecutive term and the party’s capitulation to Gujarat CM Narendra Modi. BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad denied the duo was sulking and said they had conveyed their inability to attend. “There is nothing to be read. They are busy with 8pre-8determined programmes,” he said.

Senior party sources also insisted that the absence of Advani and Swaraj was not a deliberate act and should not be read in the context of their alleged differences with Gadkari and Modi.

Yet, the absence ensured that the meeting that began amid controversy with Modi forcing BJP and RSS to bend to his will, ended on a similar note. Asked if the presence of all top leaders would have served the party’s purpose better, Prasad said there would be other occasions where the brass would be seen together on stage.

With Gadkari making peace with Modi, the equations in BJP have altered a bit. Swaraj and Advani have been critical of some of Gadkari’s decisions like one to induct former BSP leader Babu Singh Kushwaha, an accused in the UP rural health mission scam, into the BJP ahead of the state poll.

Party leaders said Advani had gone to meet an ailing relative when the executive ratified the decision to give Gadkari a second term. However, Advani is party to a decision of the office-bearers to adopt a resolution to the same effect earlier in Delhi.

“Advani’s schedule was fixed earlier so he won’t be there and Swaraj has to attend a programme in Ghaziabad tomorrow morning,” party spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.

Former Maharashtra deputy CM Gopinath Munde, who has been at odds with Gadkari, said that he along with other leaders supported the resolution seeking to give a consecutive three-year term to the BJP president. Speaking on the political resolution, Swaraj underlined the need for greater coordination between the parliamentary wing and the organizational wing of the party for launching a decisive battle ahead.

Petrol price hike fails to lift rupee, diesel eyed

The rupee fell to a fresh record low on Thursday as a sharp increase in petrol prices failed to lift investor sentiment even as it fuelled expectations New Delhi might soon take the more politically fraught step of raising diesel prices.

India’s hefty subsidy bill for diesel, kerosene and LPG is a budget-buster that forces heavy government borrowing and weighs on investor sentiment. High global energy prices and a declining rupee, meanwhile, exacerbate the current account deficit in a country that imports 80 per cent of its oil.

Oil companies lose about 14 rupees ($0.25) per litre on diesel, which is much more widely used than petrol, and a weakened government has been unable to push through a price rise or allow full market pricing in the face of political opposition, including from within the ruling coalition.

“Petrol is a low-hanging fruit, as the challenges will come when the government would be deciding on diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, and kerosene, because this is where the subsidies are larger,” said Shubhada Rao, chief economist at Yes Bank in Mumbai. “Signal wise, it is a step in the right direction.”

A panel of ministers is due to meet on Friday to discuss diesel, LPG and kerosene prices, according to unconfirmed reports, although full deregulation is not expected.

“We think the government’s ability to implement this price hike could raise market expectations about price hikes in other more critical fuels. While diesel prices in particular would need immediate attention, significant price increases are unlikely, in our view,” Goldman Sachs wrote on Thursday.

The country’s three big state oil retailers said late on Wednesday they would raise the price of petrol by about 11.5 per cent.

The rupee hit an all-time low of 56.40 to the dollar on Thursday, continuing a slide that has seen it lose 13.8 per cent from a February peak as global risk aversion hits India especially hard due to its twin deficits and sluggish policymaking, all of which has scared off investors.

While the Reserve Bank of India has taken administrative measures and sold dollars in recent weeks to defend the currency, it has refrained from taking bolder steps and appears resigned that more aggressive intervention in the market could prove futile.

“Since the US dollar is gaining strength against the major counterparts like euro, we can see rupee weakening further. We expect a 1-3 months range of 54-57 with overall weakening bias in rupee,” Abhishek Goenka, CEO of India Forex Advisors, wrote in a note on Thursday.

Economists have been downgrading their growth forecasts for Asia’s third-largest economy. Standard Chartered now expects India to report annual growth in the March quarter slowed to 6 per cent, from 6.1 per cent in the previous quarter and below earlier expectations of an improvement to 6.5 or 7 per cent.

Facebook raises IPO price band to $34-$38 a share

Facebook has raised the price band for its initial public offering to $34-$38 a share from the previous range of $28 to $35.

Facebook, already planning the largest-ever Internet-company IPO, would raise as much as $12.8 billion and seek a valuation of as high as $104.2 billion, based on the upper end of the new range.

Chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg, in a roadshow to pitch the IPO to investors, may be winning over skeptics who initially balked at buying the shares, said Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, “Raising the range would be the best signal of what the underwriters are hearing from their institutional buyers who have seen the roadshow,” Gordon said. “Despite the doubts, the buyers like what they’re hearing.”

At the upper end of the new range, Facebook would be valued at 26 times trailing 12-month sales, more than double Google’s valuation when the search-engine operator went public in 2004. The company was already in a position to surpass United Parcel Service Inc. as the most valuable company in history to go public in the US, based on market capitalization, data compiled by Bloomberg and Dealogic show.

Facebook plans to stop taking orders on Tuesday for its initial public offering, two days ahead of schedule, a person with knowledge of the transaction said. The offering of 337.4 million shares is oversubscribed, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who declined to say by how much orders exceeded the amount of stock being offered.

“They’re swamped with the orders that are in,” said Jon Merriman, chief executive officer at investment firmMerriman Holdings Inc. in San Francisco. “They just need time to determine the price. They can send the message – the books are closing, send in your orders now.”

Some institutional investors had balked at buying into Menlo Park, California-based Facebook over concern about the site’s growth prospects, people with knowledge of the matter said last week. In a Bloomberg Global Poll of more than 1,250 investors, analysts and traders, 79 per cent said Facebook doesn’t deserve such a high valuation.

“Facebook’s pricing seems to be quite expensive,” said Yves Maillot, head of investments at Robeco Gestions SA in Paris, who helps oversee $6.8-billion assets. The IPO is also pressing ahead in a “very difficult environment for the US equity market.”

IPL 5: Chennai Super Kings beat Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets

Chennai Super Kings have perfected the habit of making even the most regulation run chase appear formidable, and still finding a way of getting out of jail. Even by those standards, the two-time defending champions made a complete meal of a most modest total of 126 for six posted by Rajasthan Royals, and looked set to play themselves out of contention for the knockout stages of IPL V until, dramatically, Albie Morkel and S Anirudha got them out of jail on a tense, low-scoring but action-packed Thursday night.

Playing his first game of the season, Anirudha turned out to be the unlikely hero, smiting Shane Watson and Shaun Tait, until then the two most impressive Royals bowlers, for massive sixes to play an equal partner in an astonishing stand of 43 off just 12 deliveries that propelled the Super Kings to a four-wicket victory.

Having needed 47 off the last four overs after having dawdled during the middle part of their reply, the Super Kings eventually won with 11 deliveries to spare in a sensational turn of events that catapulted Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men to fourth in the standings.

On a stop-start day when rain interrupted the Royals’ innings thrice, the Super Kings seemed headed for a comfortable victory with Suresh Raina blazing away, but once the left-hander was well caught by Ajinkya Rahane attempting one big hit too many, the innings went into an inexorable tailspin. The experienced trio of Michael Hussey, Dwayne Bravo and Dhoni struggled to get the ball off the square as the Royals medium-pacers made capital of the swing and seam on offer, imposing a stranglehold that appeared decisive.

It was Morkel’s arrival, with 47 needed off 24 deliveries, that turned the course of the match. The South African left-hander exploded in a flurry of boundaries, then watched from the non-striker’s end as Anirudha smashed Watson and Tait around. Victory came courtesy five wides from Tait in an anti-climactic end to a contest that ended well past midnight and had the capacity crowd on the edge of their seats.

The Royals looked set for a hiding to nothing after being stuck in by Dhoni, deprived of momentum all the way through. Ben Hilfenhaus bowled an exceptional spell, sending down four overs on the trot with the new ball for incredible figures of 2 for 8, while the rest complemented him beautifully, R Ashwin’s sensational catch running in from third man and diving forward to snaffle Watson typifying the resolve and grim determination of the holders.

Only when Stuart Binny laid into Bravo did the Royals obtain any impetus, but the Super Kings pulled things back beautifully. Strangely, Dhoni didn’t requisition Ashwin’s off-spin till the 17th over and asked the profligate Bravo to bowl the final over when Morkel had one up his sleeve. On another day, these might have been crucial errors, but with Morkel and Anirudha in awesome boundary-clearing mode, the champions lived to fight another day.
