WSJ: “India’s Janata Dal (United) party Saturday signaled that it would continue to oppose efforts by the Bharatiya Janata Party to make Narendra Modi the main opposition alliance’s prime ministerial candidate for the next federal elections, citing the failure of the Gujarat chief minister and BJP leader to stop deadly anti-Muslim violence during the 2002 riots in the western Indian state.

The Janata Dal (United) instead backed former deputy prime minister L.K. Advani as the prime ministerial candidate for the BJP and the main opposition National Democratic Alliance for national elections that are due before May 2014, JD(U).”
