"Bhai (Narendra Modi) is not able to make any headway in Delhi. He might have been king in Gujarat but in Delhi things are different. Only his partymen listen to him but others are not following him," Mistry said here.
"He is afraid of being in Rajya Sabha. He was not ready to take questions after his speech in the Rajya Sabha after which the united opposition's amendment to the motion of thanks on President's speech was passed by majority vote," Mistry said.
Mistry lost the Lok Sabha election against Modi from Vadodara in 2014.
