As we enter the last stretch, there is even more confusion. The nervousness in the Congress camp is reflected by the rather ungainly sacking of the head of its media cell, Veerappa Moily. (I am not discounting the civil war among the party spokespersons for remaining on the media panel, which allows them to appear on TV channels. Everyone wants a piece of the action!) Mr Moily is usually a safe pair of hands but after Rahul Gandhi’s extraordinary press conference, the Congress does not wish to annoy existing or potential allies.
