Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), leader Manoj Kumar Jha said that there is a "war of position" going on in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over Nitin Gadkari's statement on turning down the Prime Minister's position from a political leader.
Speaking to ANI, he said "There is a war of position going on in the BJP and you will be able to see its results in the coming few months. Did the BJP choose PM Modi as its leader this time? Check the timeline, NDA had chosen..." This statement comes after Union Minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari's statement in a journalist award event, where he said that he had turned down an offer for the Prime Minister's position from a political leader. Gadkari further said that he is loyal to his conviction and organisation, and won't compromise with that. "I do not want to name anyone but a person said to me, if you are going to become a Prime Minister, we will support you. I said, why you should support me, and why I should take your support. To become a Prime Minister is not the aim in my life. I am loyal to my conviction and organisation and I am not going to compromise for any post because my conviction is most important to me. I think that this conviction is the biggest strength of Indian democracy," Gadkari said. Addressing the media fraternity at late Anil Kumar Patrakarita Puraskar Samaroh organised by Vidarbha Gaurav Pratishthan on Saturday, the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways said that he is loyal to his conviction and organisation, and won't compromise with that. "Democracy will be successful only when all four pillars--the judiciary, executive, legislature and media--follow ethics," Union Minister added. (ANI)
