Modi will be BJP's PM candidate irrespective of how many seats party gets: Rajnath Singh

"The Congress' dirty tricks department is trying to malign our PM candidate," he said.

He also said that party patriarch L.K. Advani was never angry with Modi's ascension as the prime ministerial candidate because the party's structure has always depended on consensus.

"Advaniji was never angry. He has always guided the party. We cannot forget that Atalji and Advaniji created the only alternative to Congress," he said.
