Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has been spending very little time in the state he was elected to lead. With highly-paid advertising and public relations agencies helping out, the man who would be prime minister has established a presence in every crucial battleground state, addressing political meetings and ensuring that giant election posters plastered with his visage are erected at every possible vantage point. There is a didactic purpose in his pervasive presence in the riot-scarred territory of Muzaffarnagar in the western part of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), as too in the conspicuous absence of the reigning patriarch, Mulayam Singh Yadav.
