Narendra Modi’s magic need not work at every place: Sushma

Patna: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to campaign in the Bihar Assembly polls, senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said today, suggesting that his magic need not work in “every place”.

At the same time, Swaraj made it clear that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had not put any condition on the issue of Modi campaigning.

She said that it would be better if the “old arrangement” continued under which Modi had not campaigned during the 2005 Bihar Assembly polls and the 2009 general elections.

“Modi’s magic and charisma have worked in Gujarat but it is not necessary that everybody’s magic works at every place.

“In Bihar, the magic of Nitish Kumar and Sushil Kumar Modi is at work and we are confident of our victory for carrying forward development,” Swaraj told reporters here.
