Thirty-eight,
Ashoka Road, in the heart of Lutyens' Delhi, is as good a place as any
to start a political campaign.
There are sentries at the gate; an office
staff that knows exactly whom to usher into which waiting room; a
driveway that can accommodate multiple flag-staffed cars; and a name
plate out front that bears the legend: 'Rajnath Singh'.
But it's not the
BJP president alone whose campaign is being planned from this bungalow
in the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
A number of
constituencies are being surveyed for his son Pankaj Singh, 34, a
kurta-pyjama wearing general secretary in BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit.
Chandauli, near Varanasi, currently held by Ramkishun Yadav of the
Samajwadi Party, has so far emerged as the front-runner. "The final
decision," Pankaj says, of course, "will be taken by the party."
