BJP’s candidate for the Prime Ministerial post, Narendra Modi, on Sunday resigned as the chief of party’s campaign committee for 2014 election. BJP chief Rajnath Singh will now look after this assignment.
“BJP chief Rajnath Singh will replace Narendra Modi as the party’s election campaign committee chief,” party general secretary Ananth Kumar said. A decision to this effect was taken at the meeting of BJP’s parliamentary board here.
Party leaders said this decision was on expected lines as Modi could not have run his own campaign.Modi was appointed the chief of campaign committee during BJP’s national executive meeting in Goa in June.BJP sources claimed while Singh will oversee the campaign affairs from now, a convener could be appointed in future in need arises.
