Modi said, "Advani is our leader- if NDA wins he will be PM. He will be a good PM."

New Delhi: Putting all candidature speculations to rest, Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has declared that he supports Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) L K Advani as prime minister in waiting and Advani has returned the favour by paying glowing tributes to Modi in his latest blog entry.


Modi said, "Advani is our leader- if NDA wins he will be PM. He will be a good PM."


And Mr Advani repays that compliment. In his blog the veteran leader has said:


"I cannot think of any other leader in Indian politics in the past sixty years who was as viciously, consistently and persistently maligned, both nationally and internationally, as Modi had been since 2002. Sonia Gandhi even went to the extent of calling him 'maut ka saudagar' . I am happy that the people of Gujarat have given a fitting reply to- the practitioners of this kind of toxic politics." What accounts for Narendrabhai's success? The answer is simple: he exemplifies the BJP's commitment to Good Governance, Development and Security.


Advani doesn't stop there. In his blog, he positions himself as the patriarch of a family whose younger generation is doing extremely well. He writes:


"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"


There is a hint in the blog that among the second rung leaders, Modi has surged ahead.


The BJP leader wonders why the media has to look for differences in the BJP in Modi's Vibrant Gujarat campaign.
