Tracking Bansal

Hounded by television channels to get the first on-camera reaction from him to the bribery allegations involving his nephew, Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has taken to entering his Lutyens' Delhi bungalow from the back door to avoid the media stationed at the main entrance. But Bansal has another reason to worry since the 6 Ashoka Road bungalow is bang opposite the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters. Naturally, the Opposition party is only too eager to feed news-hungry reporters with all sorts of details about Bansal's business and political interests. So much so that BJP workers are even providing refreshments to the waiting journalists, whereas Bansal's own staff has not even bothered to talk to them.
