Mr. Madhukar Gupta may become Election Commissioner

The Home Secretary, Mr. Madhukar Gupta, IAS (UL, 1971) may be appointed as Election Commissioner. Contrary to some media reports, Mr. Gupta has bright chances to get this important position. The Mumbai terror attacks which are being speculated as the reason for him losing this post, seems baseless. If the attacks would have impacted Mr. Gupta that much, he too had been shown the exit route along with the Union Home Minister at that time.
