India News: Interestingly, hours after the split, the BJP dug out a speech made by Mr. Kumar in 2003, when he was the Railway Minister in the Vajpayee-led government, and circulated it all media outlets.
Made on the occasion of the inauguration of a railway project at Adipur, Kutch, on December 13, 2003, it quotes Mr. Kumar as saying that he was sure Mr. Modi would not continue as Chief Minister for long as the nation needed his services. Further, it quotes him as saying that while what happened in Gujarat in the past was unfortunate — a reference to the riots in the State in 2002 — it was not fair to keep harping on them at the expense of some of the spectacular achievements of the Modi government.
"I hope that Narendra Modi will not be limited to Gujarat after some time. The country needs his services," Mr Kumar had said then.
