New Delhi: Gujarat
Chief Minister Narendra Modi was "unsuccessful" in dealing with
the 2002 riots in the state, the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) said
Saturday.
"As a head of the state of Gujarat, Narendra Modi was unsuccessful
in dealing with the riots which occurred in 2002," JD-U
spokesperson K.C. Tyagi said when asked whether the party
considers Modi a secular person.
On being asked whether the party would give a time frame to the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for declaring its prime ministerial
candidate, Tyagi said: "BJP is our friend and there is no business
and pressure tactics which is adopted with an ally."
"We will wait for the BJP to declare its PM candidate and we will
comment then," he said.
There has been a growing demand for Modi as BJP's prime
ministerial candidate.
JD-U leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has several
times expressed grave reservations over Modi's candidature for
prime ministership, given his alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat
riots in which over 1,000 people died, mostly Muslims.
"We will pass our political resolution tomorrow," Tygai told
reporters.
While the JD-U national executive met Saturday, the national
convention will take place Sunday.
The JD-U is the largest constituent of the NDA after the BJP, with
20 members in the Lok Sabha. The party leads the government in
Bihar, with the BJP as its junior partner.
