Patna: Amid reports that L K Advani is standing in the way of Narendra Modi being named as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, former Bihar Deputy Chief
Minister Sushil Kumar Modi today pitched for the Gujarat Chief Minister and said Advani failed to gauge public mood.
"Advaniji has failed to gauge the public mood," Sushil Kumar Modi said in his Twitter message.
"Advaniji himself declared Atalji as PM candidate now also he could have done the same for Namo (Narendra Modi)," he said in his tweet.
Later, talking to mediapersons, the senior Bihar BJP leader said it seems that Advani did not realise that public mood was in favour of Narendra Modi.
The country' mood was to see Narendra Modi against Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi in the 2014 Parliamentary elections, he said.
