Is BJP leader Murali Manohar Joshi having a go at Narendra Modi?
by Guest Mon Apr 14, 2014 11:29 am
NEW DELHI: In remarks that could create unease within a section of the party, senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi on Sunday disputed that there was a Narendra Modi wave in the country and said the Gujarat model of development touted by the BJP's prime ministerial candidate could not be applicable for all states....
Joshi was shifted to Kanpur to make way for Modi in Varanasi, ostensibly to maximize the BJP's gains in Uttar Pradesh. His remarks came a day after Modi in a TV interview had said that Joshi would win in Kanpur by a record margin. However, the assurance seems to have failed to placate Joshi who, along with other members of the 'old guard', are seen to be still uneasy with Modi's ascendancy.
The BJP veteran's comment also flies in the face of Modi's campaign pitch, amplified through radio spots, that every vote cast for the party would be a direct vote for him. In doing so, Modi has tried to paint the polls as a referendum on his leadership and is seen as urging voters to overlook local considerations and vote for him.
Joshi, who headed the BJP's manifesto committee, also said that he did not favour a "straitjacket" model of one particular state as far as development was considered. He said he would rather like to take the good points of development from various states.
"In a country like India, what development model is true for Jammu and Kashmir or Arunachal Pradesh may not be true for Kerala. So, some good points of Gujarat model will also be there, some good points from the government of Tripura will also be there, it is not some straitjacket model," he said.
On Jaswant Singh, Joshi said the decision to deny party ticket to the senior leader was not taken by the central election committee, of which he is a member, but by the party president and Rajasthan chief minister.

Jaswant and Advani should migrate to PakiSatan, build a mandir for Jinnah and do a bhajan like what Dalit-veera Shankara Rao is doing for Sonia in Telangana.

Sushma will probably go with Advani (he is getting old and needs someone to take care of).Rashmun wrote:Vakavaka Pakapaka wrote:Jaswant and Advani should migrate to PakiSatan, build a mandir for Jinnah and do a bhajan like what Dalit-veera Shankara Rao is doing for Sonia in Telangana.

MM Joshi can go to PakiSatan to destroy their HRD ministry.
