Party later, me first…
gadkari ready to back modi
Losing weight has worked
wonders for Nitin Gadkari. But the BJP President, albeit a little more
active these days, is worried about gaining weight, political weight
that is. Gadkari wants a second term as BJP President though he has not
done anything great in the last two years. Given the large number of
aspirants, he is wooing his party colleagues left, right and centre. But
BJP insiders inform that Narendra Modi wants to position his trusted
man as the next party chief. And he trusts very few in the party! Modi
has targeted 2014 to emerge on the national scene but first he has to
win the Gujarat assembly elections (to be held before January 17, 2013).
Modi and his close advisors are of the view that the party president
should be their man so that after the assembly elections, there can be a
smooth transition to the national scene.
Well
aware of these plans, Nitin Gadkari is also playing his cards well and
is believed to be even ready to declare Modi as the BJP candidate for
Prime Ministership. He knows nobody can predict what will happen in
2014. It is not yet clear what the RSS headquarters at Nagpur is
planning but they clearly don’t have much choice available to replace
Modi or Gadkari. g
