New Delhi/Ahmedabad: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is expected to skip the
upcoming BJP National Executive meet in Mumbai, with an aide
saying it will be his personal decision.
Although no one in the Bharatiya Janata Party is ready to confirm
mounting speculation about Modi's reported move, party sources in
Gujarat are more forthcoming.
"I don't know if he is attending the meet or not. It is going to
be his personal opinion. Personal opinions are not expressed on
party platforms," Vijay Rupani, the Gujarat BJP vice-president,
told IANS.
Added Jagdish Bhavsar, the state BJP spokesperson: "It is too
early to say whether he will attend or not."
Bhavsar said a 10-member party delegation from Gujarat would take
part in the May 24-25 National Executive meet.
Modi is said to be upset with BJP president Nitin Gadkari, one of
the reasons being the latter's decision to give a key role to
Sanjay Joshi in the recent Uttar Pradesh elections.
Modi and Joshi do not eye to eye in party affairs. Eventually, the
BJP suffered a huge defeat in Uttar Pradesh.
Modi had also kept away from the National Executive meet held in
Delhi last year.
At his media briefing in parliament Wednesday, BJP veteran Murli
Manohar Joshi was asked if Modi will go to Mumbai. Joshi said:
"You better ask him (Modi), I can only tell where the rupee is
going."
Another party leader said on the condition of anonymity: "If
someone has some pre-occupation, he may not be able to come."
