Click to play videoNew Delhi: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is the most sought after BJP leader across the country. Hindu Hriday samrat to some, a CEO to corporate world and a rabble-rouser to his opponents. Whatever he does, it always generates a loud impact.
Now as he gets embroiled in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation over the ad with his NDA ally Bihar’s Chief Minister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar, questions are being raised about whether Modi will have any role to play in campaigning in Bihar during the forthcoming assembly elections.
BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said, "The kind of response we saw, I am sure the people of Bihar would like to hear Narendra Modi.”
His ability to general political heat are unparalleled within the BJP, but ironically, Modi has never been allowed to campaign in Bihar either during the assembly elections or last year’s Lok Sabha elections.
With CM Nitish Kumar wooing the minorities in Bihar aggressively, Narendra Modi's involvement in Bihar unit of his party has always been a tricky subject, often to party's own Muslim candidates.
BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussein said, "There are many leaders in the BJP, all in a position to campaign."
Ironically, the mood within the BJP now is to bring Narendra Modi in Bihar to campaign ahead of the assembly elections only to prove a point to its long-term ally – the JD(U). However, the elections are still a few months away. And in the end, it will always be cold political logic which will prevail over any momentary heartburn.
