Author note: This was not the cover we started with. Until the evening of Tuesday, May 27, we were going with a cover that suggested Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh as the two pillars of the Modi administration. It was a day after the glittering swearing in at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Then, a day later, we slowly realised it was not to be. Modi was still very much in the driver's seat. Sure, his government and cabinet was a work in progress, but it would be him and him alone. Art Director Rohit Chawla came up with this brilliant cover visual in about an hour. Incidentally, this is the first time that the India Today masthead has been tampered with. Pixellated. There was a joke in the newsroom about the magazine too being a work in progress.
