Mumbai, Sep 15: The BJP today said that even though Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is an excellent Prime Minister material, decision on the party's candidate for the top post will be taken in 2014.

Addressing a press conference, BJP National General Secretary Venkaiah Naidu said ,”Wait till 2014. You will get a good prime ministerial candiate.”

He said Modi is a good prime ministerial material but there has to be discussion in the party first. “As and when we decide, it will be made public,” he said.

When asked about Anna Hazare's criticism of L K Advani's yatra, Naidu said it is the party's programme and not of Hazare. “He is apolitical man and does not like politicians.  What can we do,” he asked.

The yatra will be in October and cover all important states. It will conclude on November 19. Details are being worked on. PTI
