Pestered incessantly by mediapersons on the question of leadership in the party, a senior leader resorted to cricket at the BJP’s National Executive meeting in Bhopal. “Though Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid have ceased to be captains, it does not mean that India is playing badly. Mahendra Dhoni is doing better, isn’t he?” What the leader perhaps meant was that there is no dearth of leaders in the BJP. Instead he had the reporters now chasing him to know who the Dhoni in the party was. Himself an aspiring captain, the BJP leader wriggled out of the situation with a wan smile.
