Modi will be best PM in India's history: Raman Singh

Rejecting criticism that there was infighting within BJP, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh says that there was no friction among the leaders and asserted that Narendra Modi will be best Prime Minister in the history of the country.
"There is no fight within BJP and Narendra Modi is our prime ministerial candidate. All the opinion polls are confirming that NDA will form government comfortably on its own with Modi as Prime Minister," he said when asked whether there will be another consensus candidate in case BJP fails to get 272 seats in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Singh's comments come in the wake of reports of senior BJP veterans like L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi expressing their reservation in projecting Modi and not the party during the election campaigning.

In the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, Advani had expressed his reservation over Modi being projected as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate. Later, Advani, who was keen to contest from a 'friendlier' Bhopal, was also asked to contest from Gandhinagar.
Joshi had recently said there was no Modi wave in the country but only a BJP wave.
Similarly, there are also reports of friction between Sushma Swaraj and Modi.

Claiming that only BJP can fight corruption, the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister said, "I am confident that citizens of India will give a clear mandate to NDA government as the truth of UPA government is known to everyone. Congress is mired in corruption and people now want corruption-free government and only BJP can provide zero tolerance policy against this evil."

In an e-mail interview to PTI, Singh said Modi's leadership and popularity are added advantages for BJP not only in Chhattisgarh but also across the country to win the Lok Sabha polls.
"Modi will be the best Prime Minister in the history of India. Under his leadership, India will not only realize its true potential but also get back the pride of place amongst comity of nations," he said.
