New Delhi: Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari Thursday said Gujarat
Chief Minister Narendra Modi was one of the party's contenders for
prime minister.
On a day when the special investigation team (SIT) probing the
2002 Gujarat riots filed a report on the carnage, Gadkari in an
interview to CNN-IBN TV news channel also said the party would
decide on its prime ministerial candidate later.
"Already I have cleared it that the BJP has got a lot of potential
leadership who are capable of becoming the prime minister. Now,
Modi is also one of the leaders... he has also got the potential
for that," Gadkari said.
"There are five to six leaders, and at the right time the party
will decide who will be the prime ministerial candidate for 2014,"
he said.
Asked about Modi missing from the Uttar Pradesh poll campaign,
Gadkari said it was for the Gujarat chief minister to answer and
not him.
"First of all, from the national party we have already made a
request to Narendraji that he should give some time to Uttar
Pradesh and other states for elections. Now, he has to find out
the dates for that. The matter is with him, he has to decide about
it," he said.
