Nitin Gadkari has won a reprieve with his party reiterating support for him last night, but the rumblings of rebellion have not ended. Ram Jethmalani, the BJP's 89-year-old Rajya Sabha member whose public revolt against Mr Gadkari's leadership necessitated the party's avowal of support for its president, said he regretted that the BJP had ignored his advice, but he would continue his fight, "alone if necessary."
