Highlights of India Today Hindi issue dated January 2nd, 2013. Cover Story: India Today Hindi’s cover story Kadam Dar Kadam Dilli Ki Aur. As Modi wins Gujarat and begins the battle for India, time for him to realise the uses of reconciliation. A new legend in Indian politics is being written on the banks of the Sabarmati. As Narendra Damodardas Modi soars over the wreckage of his challengers, it is more than a triumphant testament of the politics of prosperity. In a country where the attitudes of its ruling class are invariably incompatible with the aspirations of its people, his hat-trick in Gandhinagar essays the possibilities of leadership and the rewards of conviction. The size and sweep of his conquest shows in three-dimensional clarity that power, even absolute power, when wielded by a politician with integrity and vision, doesn’t necessarily corrupt; rather, it becomes a mandate for change. Today, in an India of calcified reputations in governance, change becomes Modi, and going by the velocity of his ascent, his domain is bound to be larger than Gujarat.
