“Elections are seven months away. People want a change. But who will provide the change? Leaders who are polarizing the society?” Kulkarni told a news channel.
He maintained that there is no unanimity in the party about the Prime Ministerial candidate.
“Question does arise that can such a leader ensure a smooth government and peace in the society,” he said.
Rajnath Singh and his predecessor Nitin Gadkari had visited Advani in the last two days to convince him on Modi's candidature but got no assurance from him.
Meanwhile, senior BJP leader from Bihar Sushil Kumar Modi has targeted Advani saying he “has failed to gauge the public mood. Advaniji himself declared Atalji as PM candidate. Now also he could have done the same for Namo (Narendra Modi).”
Besides Advani, Sushma Swaraj and Murli Manohar Joshi are also opposed to announcing Modi as the PM candidate before the forthcoming Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Delhi.
