Narendra Modi in Delhi amidst reports of BJP rift

New Delhi: Amidst reports of a rift within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Delhi to attend a Planning Commission meet.

Just a day after senior party leader LK Advani's blog criticised Nitin Gadkari, the party's mouthpiece Kamal Sandesh has slammed Narendra Modi. An editorial article calls the Gujarat Chief Minister a man in a hurry, who is damaging the fabric of the party.

Kamal Sandesh in its editorial on the just concluded BJP National Executive has lamented the lacuna in organisation building and said, "As one ascends the ladder, his understanding should also elevate. But the irony is that it is always seen that on reaching the top even after knowing that a day will come when he has to come down he tries to belittle the one's below him. When we applaud a person more than required then we in fact ourselves open the door of his possible distraction. Similarly if one is criticized in extremity, we open the door for his possible exit."

Narendra Modi will be in the capital on Friday to attend a Planning Commission meet.

This comes just days after Advani slammed the Modi-Gadkari truce drama at the National Executive in Mumbai.
