Narendra Modi only viable PM candidate: Arun Shourie

VADODARA: Former Union minister Arun Shourie today joined the "Narendra Modi for PM" chorus and said he is the only "viable" prime ministerial candidate in the BJP and it is a settled issue.

"It is a settled issue and at this time Modi is the only viable PM candidate in the party," Shourie said on the sidelines of an event.

"I think it's a done deal. Modi is the leader of the BJP, and on that(issue) there's no doubt. And BJP worker, a river(of party workers) is with him," he said when asked about his opinion on a possible national role for the Gujarat Chief Minister.
