Panaji: Narendra Modi on Sunday hit out aggressively at the UPA while speaking at the BJP National Executive meeting in Panaji. Modi said that the country needs to be free from Congress rule to move forward.
"Congress-free country is not politics but a programme nationalism. People of India are angry with Congress," said the Gujarat Chief Minister. Modi also mentioned Sardar Patel in his fiery speech. "Statue of Sardar Patel should be bigger than Statue of Liberty."
Taking on Congress's advertisement, Modi said, "Their campaign - Bharat ke nirman mein haq hai mera sounds like Bharat ke nirman mein shaq hai mera."
In first signs of a breakthrough at the BJP conclave, sources said that Rajnath is set to announce Modi's name as the election campaign committee chief for 2014 on Sunday. However, under pressure from the LK Advani camp, the party has delayed the leadership issue. Whether Modi will be the face for 2014 will be decided at a later stage. Sources added that Advani supporters have outrightly rejected a demand by the Modi camp to make him the PM face for 2014.
Reportedly, there were hectic late night meetings on Saturday between all stake holders that has finally led to a decision. Sources said that post the announcement, Modi and Rajnath will travel to Delhi either on Sunday or on Monday to meet party patriarch LK Advani.
