Prominent Muslim cleric Maulana Kalbe Sadiq says he can vote in favour of BJP's prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi if he changes himself.

"I can also vote for Modi if he changes himself," the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) vice-president told reporters here yesterday.

"There are differences in words and deeds of Modi and people have lost faith in him after the Gujarat riots," Sadiq said.

On Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, the Shia cleric said lack of experience showed in his working and it was high time SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav should take charge of the state and become chief minister.
