BJP���s prime ministerial candidate L K Advani has said Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi was not his ���heir apparent��� although he may be party���s most popular leader right now. Asked by a magazine in an interview whether Mr Modi was ���standing above the other leaders of the second generation in the BJP��� and if he was ���heir apparent���, Mr Advani replied, ���No, I would not say so.
Especially when we have string of chief ministers who have been performing so well.��� To a question as to whether the Gujarat chief minister was the most popular leader after him, Mr Advani replied,���Why after me? He may be the most popular leader right now.���
The 82-year-old BJP leader also sought to downplay the ���youth card��� saying, ���I do not attach much importance to the so-called youth card. I don���t think age is a handicap as long as one is fit. There is experience you bring with age.���
