Amid demand by some BJP leaders for projecting Narendra Modi as the party’s Prime Ministerial candidate, VHP leader Ashok Singhal today said the Gujarat Chief Minister enjoys the same popularity as that of the first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru.
“It is for the first time since the days of Jawahar Lal Nehru when a leader has come to enjoy such a massive popularity across the country,” Singhal told reporters here at the ongoing Maha Kumbh congregation.
