Amid media created controversy of Modi as BJP’s Prime Minister candidate, BJP’s Prime Ministerial Candidate and India’s leader of opposition party Shri L.K.Advani in his blog has said that the party is proud of Modi’s success and never feels diminished.

After praising Modi’s Vibrant Gujarat Summit success, Shri Advani in his blog has said:

“It is amusing to find these days some sections of the media hostile to the BJP laboring hard to discern even in the Vibrant Gujarat event evidence of differences in the BJP.

I can only recall what I had said at a New Delhi press conference I had addressed shortly after our splendid victory in the Gujarat Assembly polls.

A lady correspondent had posed me the question. “Don’t you think Narendra Bhai is now becoming larger than the party?” My reply to her query was: “It often happens in a family that a younger member records an achievement which no one else has made earlier. This only makes the whole family proud. The family never feels diminished on that account.”

Earlier yesterday the BJP had clarified that Narendra Modi stands like a rock behind Advani. Today Narendra Modi at women rally in Gujarat’s Panchamahal district himself supported LK Advani as future PM(in which nothing was new as Modi has always lauded to do everything to make Advani next PM) and said “there is a group in Delhi that wants to divert peoples’ attention from Vibrant Gujarat’s grand success by unnecessarily highlighting humbug issues like who would become PM if BJP wins. There is a message for such people that don’t put your hands in lion’s abode(Gujarat is a home of Asiatic lions).”
