Ghelot on Saturday, May 25 was quoted as saying, "The parliamentary
board realises that Modiji is a popular leader in the country and it
will honour the public sentiment while taking the decision."

"Everything will be settled at the right time," replied Ghelot when he
was asked about reported differences between Modi and JD(U) leader
Nitish Kumar.
It was reported that the Bihar CM was one of the anti-Modi leader and
may break its alliance with BJP if the party declares Gujarat CM as PM
candidate for Lok Sabha elections.
Recently, one opinion poll said that if Narendra Modi is projected as
BJP Prime Ministerial candidate, the NDA could get 220 seats.
Otherwise, the BJP will emerge as the single biggest party with 137
seats, a jump of 21 from its total in 2009 with the Congress finishing
second at 116, the opinion poll suggested. The UPA's tally is set to
crash by 95 in the Lok Sabha elections for 2014 said the survey.
