Q: What about internal differences on PM candidate and Advani's personal ambitions?
Naqvi: See, We in BJP have moved forward by holding hands of Atal Ji and Advani ji. He will always want us to give a government that will deliver good governance.
Q: So you are saying that Advani ji is not in the PM race?Naqvi: Nobody's race has either begun or ended. There is no race in the party. There will be only one PM candidate and we'll decide the name by consensus.
Q: What is the strategy behind sending Amit Shah to UP?Naqvi: Amit Shah is a very good and experienced leader. He has played significant role in Gujarat elections and that's why the party president Rajnath Singh has given him the responsibility of UP.
Q: But there are serious allegations against Amit Shah and still you have given him a critical state like UP.Naqvi: What charges you are talking about? Has he committed any theft or heist? Is he a mafia? The charges against him are politically motivated. By that yardstick, all Congress Chief Minister should be in jail today because more than 50000 riots took place under Congress regime.
