Modi stays away from Uttarakhand, Punjab poll campaign

Ahmedabad, 29 January 2012
Election campaigning in two northern states Uttarakhand and Punjab ended yesterday. However Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi didn’t visit any of these states and stayed away completely.
On one side, Modi is dubbed as Prime Minister material, on the other side he is completely out of the campaign in two states where party is ruling.
This has led to speculation about whether he would hit the campaign trail in the all-important Uttar Pradesh.
Earlier Modi had stayed away from the last BJP National Executive citing his Navratri fast as reason.
His bete noire and former BJP General Secretary Sanjay Joshi is one of the key leaders involved in the party’s UP campaign.
