Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal may not like it, but every large institution makes sure it hosts all three supposed contenders for prime ministership for speaking assignments. The ever-energetic Confederation of All India Traders' Association, however, is an exception. It is only hosting Modi, on February 27. What about the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress? One organiser acerbically observed that where Modi responded to the Confederation's invitation in a day, it took 35 days just to get in touch with Kejriwal. As for Gandhi, "he has time to meet porters but not the trader community".
