Nitin Gadkari's googly on jobs may be ominous for Narendra Modi govt; state of drift may be a political hot potato -Madhavan Narayanan

-Firstpost.com

Was that a bouncer to the political opposition or was that a googly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi from an esteemed colleague in the cabinet?

Trying to decipher Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari's latest jibe at caste-based quota seekers in government jobs amid protests by Marathas in his home state of Maharashtra is as tricky as discussing the current valuations of Sensex stocks or whether Cheteshwar Pujara would have helped India win the lost first Test against England at Edgbaston.

Where are the jobs when technology is shrinking banking posts and the government is freezing recruitment, the minister has said. When he happens to be the former president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), no less, he indirectly or inadvertently hits the government on the creation of jobs in a certain election year.

    You are not sure if it is a case of hit wicket at this end or run-out at the other end of the pitch. Not surprisingly, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appeals "Howzzat!" on Gadkari's claim.

The relatively good news for the government is that demonstrations on the streets are over job quotas for castes in public sector jobs, unlike circa 1974, when India witnessed large-scale economic unrest over unemployment and inflation during the JP Movement.
