Former Delhi BJP vice-president Aamir Raza Husain today said that he would prefer party veteran LK Advani or Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, as the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate in comparison to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who makes despicable and divisive comments.

"I thought that Modi's remarks were in terrible taste. He should not have made them and a man who consistently speaks such a language should not be considered by a national party (BJP) as their Prime Ministerial candidate when that national party has people like Sushma (Swaraj), Advani,' he said.

Husain said all political parties are the same and admitted that no leader likes to be challenged or debated upon by someone within the party.

Husain, a well-known theatre personality, tendered his resignation on Tuesday, a day after he had commented adversely about Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on national television. "All political parties are same. No leader likes to be challenged or debated upon by someone in the party. You can't do anything to a very senior leader. There is no democratic environment in any party,' Hussain said.
