Modi dials 'V' for Victory

Sitting BJP MP from Vadodara Lok Sabha seat, Balkrishna Shukla on Wednesday said he would be happy to vacate the seat for Narendra Modi, if the party decides to field him from the constituency.

"Modi is my political guru. He had encouraged me to contest the 2009 Lok Sabha polls when I was still the city mayor. I am very happy to vacate my seat for him. I have already communicated my willingness to the party leadership," Mr. Shukla said.

The MP expressed confidence that Mr. Modi would win the seat with a thumping majority. "It would be a proud moment for Vadodara to elect the prime ministerial candidate," he said.

Mr. Shukla had won the Vadodara seat with a margin of 1.32 lakh votes in 2009 Lok Sabha polls. He had replaced the three time seating BJP MP Jataben Thakkar after she had expressed her unwillingness to contest the parliamentary polls.

According to Bharat Dangar, president of the city unit of BJP, the party workers want Mr. Modi to contest from Vadodara.

He said Mr. Modi's candidature from the constituency will enthuse the entire cadre and voters across Gujarat, especially central Gujarat, as Anand, Kheda and Dohad seats are currently held by the Congress.
