Will accept party's decision on Varanasi seat: Joshi
March 09, 2014  16:47
Breaking his silence over the reported row in the BJP over a move to field Narendra Modi from Varanasi, Murli Manohar Joshi today said he would accept any decision the party takes like a "disciplined soldier" and hoped it would neither dent the PM candidate's prestige nor hurt party's electoral chances.

Joshi, who had won from Varanasi last time, said the party's Central Election Committee would take a decision on March 13 and rejected reports of a poster war between supporters of Modi and him in the constituency as the "mental fiction" of media.

"The decision will be taken by Parliamentary Board. A meeting (of CEC) is taking place on March 13," he told reporters. Asked if he would accept a decision to field Modi from the prestigious eastern UP seat, he shot back, "every disciplined soldier accepts" party's decision.
