Politics is a game of uncertainties. It’s always difficult to predict which step will lead one to the ladder of success and which rung will lead to one’s downfall. Nitin Gadkari, once considered a political heavyweight especially after his wild card entry into national politics thanks to his excellent rapport with RSS top leadership, is back to square one.

He has vowed to come clean of the charges of dubious financial deals related to Purti group, promoted by him. Even if the political circle in Delhi claims a lobby within the party worked overtime, forcing Gadkari to vacate his chair, the truth, according to people from Nagpur, is that he was disowned by the RSS at a very crucial juncture.
