Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today said Narendra Modi, who has been elevated as the chief campaigner of the BJP, has strengthened the Congress and is turning out to be a danger for the opposition right-wing party.
“I think Modi is a danger for the BJP,” Azad told reporters on the sidelines of a function in the city here.
The Union Health Minister, who has held several high profile posts in the Congress, said Modi’s elevation to head the 2014 election campaign for the BJP has already caused a split in the BJP-led alliance. “With Modi’s arrival (elevation), the Congress has strengthened and the BJP has split and its alliances have broken,” he said.
The BJP-led opposition alliance NDA suffered a setback yesterday when its ally JD(U), angry over Modi’s elevation, broke off the 17-year-old alliance.
Azad said the JD(U) should have split from the BJP years ago and termed the JD(U) leaders as “secular people”. “What Nitish Kumar should have done 15 years ago, he has done it today. I know Nitish and Yadav from a long time. I know their policy. They have always been very secular people. I don’t know how they got into an alliance with the BJP. Nonetheless, its better late than never,” the Union minister said.
He said it would be too early to say whether the JD(U) could or should join the UPA but predicted that the polarisation would grow on the political scene.
“As of now, the evident change that has come on the national scene in India’s politics is that a majority of political parties have accepted secularism.”
The Union minister said there was little chance of formation of a third front. “Ultimately, I think in the next six months, there will be only two fronts — the secular front headed by the Congress and the non-secular front,” he said.
