A glib talker and suave operator in New Delhi’s power circles, Mr. Jaitley thrives in television studios, election war rooms and policy debates in Parliament. These skills, however, are almost useless in the thrum of an Indian election campaign.

Mr. Jaitley, lacking the swagger of natural politicians, appeared ill at ease in the raucous delirium as his motor cavalcade navigated the streets of Amritsar. His body language remained stiff, and he could barely bring himself to smile.

Waving comes to politicians like second nature, but Mr. Jaitley often seemed lost, staring impassively into the crowd....

The entry of Mr. Singh has rattled Mr. Jaitley, who now finds himself thrust into a contest far tougher than he expected. “The odds are stacked against Mr. Jaitley,” said Sankarshan Thakur, a commentator on India’s right wing and roving editor at The Telegraph newspaper. “He is contesting his first election in late-midcareer, and a loss would deal him a blow.”

Mr. Jaitley is also fighting a wave of discontent against the Shiromani Akali Dal, the governing party in Punjab’s state legislature and an ally of the B.J.P. The tenure of the Shiromani Akali Dal, which has been in power in the state since 2007, has been marked by corruption, lawlessness and poor economic performance. Punjab, once India’s wealthiest state, has fallen into ruin, struggling with poor infrastructure, rotting cities and agricultural decline.

Mr. Jaitley is further hobbled by the unpopularity of Bikram Singh Majithia, a local legislator from Amritsar and revenue minister in the Punjab state government, who has been accused of running a drug racket in the state.

Arun Jaitley won't sit and worry if he gets defeated. CONmen should certainly worry if Jaitley doesn't get elected.

He will take up all the big cases against CONmen and their bacchas (Vadra, et al). Vashundhara in Rajasthan is waiting for the election "moral conduct" to end so that her govt. can initiate legal action against the crooks. You just have to wait and see how brilliant a lawyer Jaitley is when CONmen will be sent to jail, one after the other.

So, smart CONmen will not hope that Jaitley will come back to his legal practice.
