Live! Project Modi as BJP's face for LS polls: Parrikar

June 08, 2013 10:46

Goa chief minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Manohar Parrikar has said that Narendra Modi should be projected as the party's face in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

Perhaps for the first time in BJP's history, L K Advani on Saturday skipped the party's ongoing national executive meeting against the backdrop of his pursued opposition to project Narendra Modi as head of the campaign committee for the next Lok Sabha elections. 85-year-old Advani cited "ill health" as the reason behind not attending the meeting in Panaji.

Following suit, other prominent BJP leaders and known confidantes of Advani like B C Khanduri, Jaswant Singh and Uma Bharti have stayed away from the Goa meeting, also citing 'health reasons'.
