It's media misintrepretation: Venkayya Naidu

Senior BJP leader Venkayya Naidu, who said that he, Advani and Sushma Swaraj are the eligible candidates for Prime Minister Post in the party, has made a turnaround on his statement, during his visit to Bhopal. Relying to a media question on his statement, he said “I didn’t say that I am in the race for Prime Minister Post. I mean to say that there are several people in our party who are eligible for Prime Minister Post. The media has misinterpreted my statement. I agree Narendra Modi is also eligible for the Prime Minister post.However, the party will discuss and decided about this issue in an appropriate time.”

But,at the same time he expressed his discontent with Narendra Modi by stating “there is significant growth of cultivation in Madhya Pradesh. It even crosses the cultivation records of Gujarat state. The credit goes to Madhya Pradesh CM Shivaraj Singh, who is a raising star in BJP.” His statement hints that he is against Narendra Modi’s leadership and his Prime Ministerial candidature.
