New Delhi: With the BJP all set to declare Gujarat Chief Minister and party's campaign committee chief Narendra Modi its prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 elections, senior leader LK Advani has decided to skip the party's Parliamentary Board meet on Friday.
Advani is against the anointment of Modi as PM candidate. Adamant over his decision, Advani has suggested that any decision on Modi's anointment should be taken after Assembly elections later in November 2013.
Advani has said that announcement of BJP's PM candidate before Assembly elections of Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi would affect the party's performance in the polls.
Advani has been very vocal against Modi's anointment as PM candidate after the Gujarat Chief Minister was made BJP's campaign committee chief in June, 2013 at the Goa meet.
Just after Modi's anointment as campaign committee chief Advani resigned from all posts he held in the BJP. However, he later took his decision back after BJP President Rajnath Singh and other senior leaders succeeded in placating him.
