What is common between Rahul Gandhi, Rajnath Singh?
January 24, 2013  16:16
A correspondent from Delhi reports: The promotion of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and that of BJP leader Rajnath Singh may have some common traits. 

The decision to appoint Rahul Gandhi as the vice president of the AICC was not conveyed to too many senior leaders except Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Defence Minister A K Antony.    

The information was not shared with Congress leader Digvijaya Singh as it was likely to be leaked to the media.    

Similarly, Rajnath Singh's promotion to the BJP chief's post was kept a secret and he was told to rush to New Delhi.    

Even when the news was conveyed by senior BJP leaders Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj, only a few RSS functionaries knew about the internal development and several top BJP leaders were kept in the dark.
