Ahmedabad: The BJP will release its manifesto in
poll-bound Gujarat today. It will be released by Chief Minister Narendra
Modi in presence of Leader of the Opposition Arun Jaitley and other
leaders.
Meanwhile, the party launched an aggressive campaign with top BJP leaders addressing rallies in various parts of the state. BJP president Nitin Gadkari, senior leaders Murli Manohar Joshi, Arun Jaitley and Venkaiah Naidu among others were in the state to campaign for BJP.
And the Gujarat Chief Minister received some praise from senior leader L K Advani who was addressing election rallies at Kalol and Mansa in Gandhinagar district.
Mr Advani called Mr Modi as a "role model" of development while appealing to states to imitate him. "Modi is undertaking great development work in Gujarat. He is a role model for chief ministers of other states on how to rule, govern and take care of even the poorest," Mr Advani said.
He also lauded the Gujarat Chief Minister's 3-D blitzkrieg for poll campaigning.
"In a family sometimes the younger ones are more capable than the elders and when the younger ones show their capabilities the elders do not feel bad, they feel happy, they feel proud that a youth from their family is so capable," Mr Advani said.
This comes a day after senior party leader Sushma Swaraj openly supported Gujarat Chief Minister as a potential prime ministerial candidate for BJP. "There are no boundaries for the post of Prime Minister. I feel Narendra Modi is capable to become the next PM and I have no doubts about it. He is both capable and suitable for holding the PM's post," Ms Swaraj said on Saturday.
Gopinath Munde too backed Mr Modi for the post of PM. "Narendra Modi is capable of becoming PM and I am satisfied with Sushma Swaraj's opinion... He has potential of becoming PM," Mr Munde said on Sunday.
The Gujarat Chief Minister is one of the most popular leaders of the BJP, and is often said to be one of the strong contenders for the NDA's prime ministerial candidate in the 2014 general elections. His ambition to be selected as his party's candidate for prime minister is also well known.
However, not everybody in the NDA coalition is a part of the Modi bandwagon. Keen to check Mr Modi's prime ministerial aspirations is Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. His party the Janata Dal United or JD(U) is a senior member of the NDA, which is led by the BJP. Mr Kumar has said that as the largest party in the ensemble, the BJP has the prerogative of picking the coalition's prime ministerial candidate. However, he has warned that he will exit the group if the BJP makes Mr Modi its nominee. 18 per cent of Bihar is Muslim, and their vote is crucial for Mr Kumar. He has stressed that the NDA's prime ministerial candidate must have secular credentials - a thinly-veiled remark against Mr Modi, whose ambitions to move to the national landscape from Gujarat are hampered by the communal riots in his state in 2002.
The BJP has kept the issue of Prime Ministerial candidate on the backburner till now.
Currently though, Mr Modi's focus is Gujarat which goes to polls later this month. Voting will be held in two phases on December 13 and 17 and results will be declared on December 20. Mr Modi is contesting from the Maninagar seat in Ahmedabad and faces suspended top police officer Sanjiv Bhatt's wife Shweta Bhatt of the Congress. Mr Modi has been winning from the seat since 2002.
