The Hindu: “Amid speculation about Narendra Modi’s projection as BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate, party president Rajnath Singh on Sunday remained non-committal on the issue but hailed the Gujarat Chief Minister as the “most popular leader in the nation”.
Mr. Singh also expressed confidence that no ally of NDA including JD(U), which has been expressing reservations against Mr. Modi, will go out of the alliance.
He maintained that the final authority to take the decision regarding the party’s Prime Ministerial candidate remains with the BJP Parliamentary Board, and added, “…only the board that will decide what parameters it adopts to decide about the PM candidate.”
Referring to Mr. Modi, a top JD(U) leader had on Saturday said at the party’s national executive meeting that “being popular is a different thing and becoming Prime Minister is another.”
