NEW DELHI: Senior RSS leader MG Vaidya has alleged that Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi was behind the campaign against BJP president Nitin Gadkari.
According to Times Now, Vaidya in his blog on Sunday said, "The roots of the campaign against Nitin Gadkari have to be in Gujarat because when Ram Jethmalani demanded Gadkari's resignation, he also demanded that Narendra Modi be made the prime ministerial candidate of the party."
"Modi himself seems to have strong prime ministerial ambitions because L K Advani and Nitin Gadkari have already said that they are not in the race for the PM. But Narendra Modi has still not said anything on this issue,'' the senior RSS leader alleged.
Later speaking to Times Now, Vaidya said that his comments were personal and he stood by his opinion.
According to TV reports, the RSS also issued a statement saying that Vaidya's comments were personal.
The BJP has also been quick to say that Vaidya's comments were personal.
BJP MP Ram Jethmalani has openly called for Gadkari's resignation. He has also pitched for Narendra Modi being made the prime ministerial candidate in the next Lok Sabha elections.
Jethmalani had recently rejected the party's clean chit to Gadkari over the alleged dodgy business practices of a group of companies linked to him, reinforcing doubts that the party chief, already diminished, may not be able to limp into a second term after his current tenure ends in December.
"It is a betrayal of the people," Jethmalani had said rejecting the testimonial of innocence that Gadkari secured from the party on the basis of the findings of S Gurumurthy, a chartered accountant-turned-Hindutva ideologue.
