Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar today said AAP had no business proposing his name as BJP's Prime Ministerial nominee, but he can consider the prospect if his party asked him.
"Who is Aam Admi Party to decide whether I should be the Prime Ministerial candidate? It is for my party to decide. I can think if party asks me to," he said.
He was responding to a question about the statement of a local leader of AAP that BJP should nominate Parrikar and not Narendra Modi for the top job.
