‘Sources’ and ‘high command’ in demand
By IANSMonday, March 16, 2009
NEW DELHI - In Indian politics, little moves without the consent of the ‘high command’ - two words that allude to a party’s top leadership.
Little surprise then that Congress, Janata Dal-Secular and Bharatiya Janata Party ticket seekers in Karnataka are after the ‘high command’ or at least those ‘close to the high command’.
They are also after ’sources’ - mainly journalists - to know the thinking of the high command on the prospect of getting nominations for the April-May general elections. It is a different matter that journalists are also after their own sources to know who is likely to get which seat!
