Sanjay Joshi quits BJP, will Modi attend meet now?
BJP leader Sanjay Joshi on Thursday resigned from the party's national executive, according to media reports. Joshi's resignation, hours before the BJP meet in Mumbai, is seen as a pacifier to have Gujarat CM Narendra Modi attend the two day National Executive meet. BJP strongman's presence is still under the cloud.
Modi was upset with party president Nitin Gadkari after he reinstated former general secretary Sanjay Joshi in the party and made him the in-charge of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
Modi had not turned up to campaign in Uttar Pradesh, even as Gadkari was keen that he did. He even skipped the last party conclave in Delhi held in December last year. Since then the Gujarat CM and Gadkari have not been in the best of terms but with the BJP preparing to pass a resolution in the executive meeting, Gadkari has chances to get another term as the party president.
