1. SH KAPADIA ( Age 63 )
WHY
He is number one in the list because as CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA. He represents the Supreme Court's power.At a time when so much of Politics is being determined by judicial pronouncements and even observations - related to headline - grabbing court cases, the number one judge and the court he runs have become the country's most influential arbiter. His and his court's decisions can determine how Govt. and Politics are affected by the 2G scandal, or whether the CVC, PJ Thomas, will go and take a big chunk of UPA credibility with him. The SC will also take significant decisions on the privacy vs public interest debate and perhaps on industrial projects vs environmental laws too. The apex court has never been as hugely crucial in determining policy and politics as in recent times. Therefore, a Chief Justice of INDIA has never been as popular as he is now.

POWER PUNCH
He took less than a minute to decide, after hearing lengthy arguments, that the Allahabad High Court's verdict on the Ayodhya Title suit must be pronounced; threats of violence could not be an excuse.
WHAT NEXT
Court business wise, his word on the CVC will be the first of many Judicial calls this year.
Administration wise, he is keen to provide decent infrastructure to the lowest courts.
BY THE WAY : He once refused an invitation to open a judicial conference abroad because the event fell on a working day.
2. SONIA GANDHI ( Age 64 )
WHY
She goes up one place in the list despite the Congress led Govt.'s many troubles because with the PM looking less than effective, the Party Leader's job has become even more crucial, not the least in terms of keeping critics of the PM at bay.She prevailed upon DMK to remove A Raja. The National Advisory council (NAC), under her leadership, remains an important pressure group.
POWER PUNCH
She took tough calls on sacking Congress notables embroiled in controversies, Shashi Tharoor and Ashok Chavan being the Prime examples, and challenged the BJP to take similar action against its leaders accused of corruption.
WHAT NEXT
Nothing less than the immediate future of the Congress. Elected, inevitably, as Congress President again, and the term extended from three to five years, she will lead the party beyond the 2014 elections.
BY THE WAY :: She often uses SMS to keep in touch with the senior party leaders and ministers.
3. MANMOHAN SINGH ( Age 78 )
WHY
The PM drops one palce after convincingly winning a second term because the Govt. has looked indecisive and riddled with internal fights. The economy has held up, but most of what he wanted to do continues to be in the pending tray. The NAC frequently questions the Govt and there appear to be question marks over his authority i9n the Cabinet. He's held his nerve, given the circumstances, but insiders feel the pressure might tell. Still, he remains the Congress's best bet as Govt.'s face to the country and the world.
POWER PUNCH
His foreign policy credentials keep growing-- in a span of three months last year, leaders of all the P-5 countries visited India. That's a first fao an Indian PM.
WHAT NEXT
Crisis management, definitely, one part of which will be an effective Cabiner reshuffle. Also, economic policy is in drift and needs the attention of the "original economic reformer".
BY THE WAY :: There's a special bed for him abroad Air India One but he never uses it.Insists on half-an-hour on the treadmill, no matter where he is.
