BJP appoints Modi as head of Poll Panel

It was speculated but not clear until Sunday, everything was clear after the name of Narenda Modi declared by Rajnath Singh, the BJP President, as the chief of Poll Panel. A big responsibility has been given to the firebrand and saffron leader Narenda Modi.

There were differences among the party leaders over appointing Modi as head of the poll panel. The party will follow him for the next general election in 2014. The Goa BJP meeting was proved lucky for the Narendra Modi for the second time in 2013 after in 2002.

After the Godhra riots, the BJP meet at Goa had reportedly planned to out the saffron leader Narendra Modi, but the seniors leaders Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L K Adavi backed him.

However, the name for the prime ministerial candidate is yet not declared, but believed that Modi could be the best leader for the top job. But that may clear during the election time, when the party will start campaign after declaring the candidate for the top job, as it has been doing.

According to some experts, the appointment of Modi as the poll panel would have positive impact on the Hindu vote bank of the party.
