New Delhi:
The needle of suspicion in the campaign against Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) chief Nitin Gadkari points to Gujarat Chief Minister
Narendra Modi, senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue
M.G. Vaidya said Monday.
Vaidya had said in a blog entry Sunday: "The roots of the campaign
against Nitin Gadkari have to be in Gujarat because when Ram
Jethmalani demanded Gadkari's resignation, he also demanded that
Narendra Modi be made the prime ministerial candidate of the
party."
On Monday, as the controversy grew, he explained: "And because
Jethmalani has combined the two things in one statement, demanding
Nitin Gadkari's resignation and making Narendra Modi as PM, I said
that the needle of suspicion goes to Gujarat. I only said needle
of suspicion goes towards Modi, and that there is a suspicion. And
if Jethmalani is entitled to his own point of view, I also am
entitled to my own point of view."
"The RSS has nothing to do with it," he told Times Now channel.
In an English translation of the Marathi blog, he had also written
that "Modi himself seems to have strong prime ministerial
ambitions because L.K. Advani and Nitin Gadkari have already said
that they are not in the race for the PM. But Narendra Modi has
still not said anything on this issue".
"Narendra Modi might have felt that Gadkari as the BJP president
will hamper his chances of becoming the prime minster. He is using
Jethmalani to fulfil his plans," the senior RSS leader alleged.
He also criticised Jethmalani for his open revolt against Gadkari,
saying: "Ram Jethmalani should not have expressed his displeasure
against Nitin Gadkari publicly. Any BJP member or MP can feel that
Nitin Gadkari should resign, but they should raise this issue on
the party platform."
Gadkari has been under attack for alleged financial impropriety in
connection with his Purti Group. BJP leader Mahesh Jethmalani,
also Ram Jethmalani's son, quit the party national executive last
week protesting Gadkari's continuation in office in the wake of
allegations against him.
