Narendra Modi on becoming BJP Poll Committee Chairman: LK Advani has given me his blessings

NEW DELHI: Following his anointment as Chairman for BJP’s 2014 elections Campaign Committee, Narendra Modi tweeted that the party will leave no stone unturned for the polls.

“Senior leaders have reposed faith in me. We will leave no stone unturned for Congress Mukt Bharat Nirman. Thanks for support & blessings,” Modi said.

Modi said that he spoke to senior party leader LK Advani. “I spoke to Advani ji on the phone. He gave me his blessings. Honoured and extremely grateful to receive his blessings,” he tweeted.

Stating that Modi will lead BJP to victory in the elections, Rajnath Singh said that the party has taken the decision with consensus.

“Every party sees election as a challenge and BJP takes the 2014 polls as a challenge with a pledge to be victorious,” Singh said.

Earlier, Rajnath Singh told BJP cadres, “ We are the only alternative, will bring about change.” “From corruption to misgovernance, this country has been let down by the government,” he added.

Reacting to the announcement, JD(U) said that Modi has been appointed as the head of BJP’s campaign committee and not NDA. “This does not make any difference to us.”

Earlier in the day, speaking to BJP cadres at Goa, Narendra Modi said, "We need the country free from Congress rule. Nation has never seen such brazenness and people are angry with Congress."

"People still believe institutions and remember the work of Atal Bihari Vajpayee even today with confidence," said Modi.

Modi took a jibe at UPA’s Bharat Nirman campaign stating that instead of ‘Aapka hak’,it is a case of ‘Aapka shak’, implying that the citizens of the country are suspicious of the national pitch by Congress.

Stating that there is a deficit of trust in the country, Modi went on to say that ‘throwing out’ Congress is a national not a political campaign.
