Vadodara, September 14: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi tonight avoided a question if he would campaign in Bihar assembly poll.
When a mediaperson asked Modi, whose proposed campaign in Bihar has opposed by BJP’s ruling alliance partner JD (U) in the state, whether he would take part in campaigning, he did not reply and left for the airport on his way back to Gandhinagar.
The appearance of Modi’s photo along with that of Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar in an advertisement had pushed the alliance between the two parties to the brink some months ago.
JD(U) supremo Sharad Yadav and his party colleague Shivanand Tiwari made it clear yesterday they would not like Modi to take part in electioneering in Bihar.
