New Delhi: Nearly 10
days after Sanjay Joshi had to resign from the BJP's national
executive, posters appeared here Tuesday attacking Gujarat Chief
Minister Narendra Modi.
Although the posters did not refer to Modi by name, they blamed
his exit on the stubborness of "one leader" -- a clear reference
to the Gujarat chief minister.
Modi agreed to attend last month's national executive of the
Bharatiya Janata Party in Mumbai only after BJP president Nitin
Gadkari asked Joshi, Modi's known foe, to leave the leadership
panel.
One of the posters appeared mysteriously outside the gates of the
BJP national headquarters here - and was quickly taken off.
Another came up at the gate of BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi's
residence.
The multi-colour posters had a large image of Joshi. It described
his forced exit from the national executive as "bullying".
Modi and Joshi have been at loggerheads for years. Modi stayed
away from campaigning in Uttar Pradesh this year after Gadkari
made Joshi one of the key persons in the election campaign.
Both Modi and Joshi have strong ties with the Rashtriya
Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS).
"It is not an authorised poster of the BJP. We don't want to
comment on it any further," BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad
told reporters.
Stating the party was united on the Joshi issue, Prasad said: "Our
national president had commented that he resigned to avoid any
conflict in the party."
