Announcement of Narendra Modi’s PM candidature after talk
New Delhi: BJP’s prime ministerial nominee for the 2014 general elections would be announced after ‘talking to everyone’, party president Rajnath Singh said on Thursday.
Party spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi added, “Discussions are going on and we will announce the nominee soon. There is no contradiction in the party on who will be the prime ministerial candidate. All is well.”
In case a general consensus among the parliamentary board does not emerge, Rajnath Singh can also make an announcement even without a parliamentary board meeting as he has the power to do so.
There are reports that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat may meet Modi in Gandhinagar on Thursday to discuss this issue. RSS has categorically said that there is no dispute over Modi’s name but the timing of the announcement has to be decided by the BJP.
