Why BJP is afraid of Narendra Modi -
Parsa Venkateshwar Rao Jr, DNA
It might seem preposterous to say that the Bharatiya Janata Party fears Gujarat chief minister and potential prime ministerial claimant Narender Modi more that it fears the Congress, the communists and other political rivals and opponents. That is, however, the simple truth that a political psychoanalyst would detect as soon as the party is laid out on the couch. It is the ambivalence of many party leaders that spills the beans as it were. |
Modi's, Yeddy's absence could cast shadow over BJP meet -
Mumbai, May 23 - The absence of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa could cast a cloud over the BJP National Executive beginning here tomorrow which is all set to pave the way for a second term to party chief Nitin Gadkari.

Modi may skip BJP national executive meet in Mumbai -
New Delhi, May 14 - With the rift between BJP President Nitin Gadkari and Narendra Modi remaining unresolved, there is speculation that the Gujarat Chief Minister may skip the national executive to be held in Mumbai on May 24-25. Sources said Modi is likely to keep away from the conclave where BJP will formally endorse a resolution to amend its constitution allowing a second term to the party president. This will pave the way for Gadkari to stay in the saddle for another three years after he completes his present tenure in December.

Ahmedabad, May 11 - The Supreme Court appointed SIT has endorsed the 'action and reaction' theory of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the Gulburg society massacre case, saying that firing by former MP Ehsaan Jaffery led to killing of 69 people in 2002.

Congress proxies stumble in ‘destroy Modi’ mission -
GVL Narasimha Rao, LensOnNews
HAVING FAILED TO defeat Narendra Modi repeatedly in elections in Gujarat, the Congress party has been trying its best to entangle him in a web of legal cases and is misusing every agency of the central government and constitutional offices to tarnish his image and crush him politically. Narendra Modi has defeated Congress party’s nefarious designs at every stage and emerged stronger on every occasion. The latest reports that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up by the Supreme Court has found no prosecutable evidence against him is a vindication of sorts for Narendra Modi after a long drawn out legal battle. |
