Bangalore, 24 May 2012
Former Chief Minister of Karnataka and one of the most prominent BJP leaders in southern India, Shri B S Yeddyurappa today said the ongoing party national executive at Mumbai should deliberate on promoting him as Prime Ministerial candidate, among other issues.
“The national executive should deliberate on the issues rocking Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan and promote Modi as Prime Ministerial candidate,” he told reporters here.
“According to a survey, Modi is the most popular leader of the country and the party must think on these lines and take decisions,” said Yeddyurapa, who had recently pushed the first BJP government in the South into a crisis of survival.
“Modi is popular because he has done great work in Gujarat and made the state number one in the country,” he said.
The Lingayat strongman, however, said Modi could not be compared to former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and veteran BJP leader L K Advani.
He declined to comment on the resignation of Sanjay Joshi from the BJP National Executive.
