Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Monday (Jan 28) fired the first shot openly pitching for declaring Narendra Modi as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate in the next Lok Sabha elections, saying it will benefit the party hugely. Contending that he was reflecting the mood of the country and BJP workers, he advised JD(U), which has reservations on Modi because of the 2002 Gujarat riots, not to target the chief minister but take a decision after careful consideration.
