In a big victory for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, his bete noire Sanjay Joshi quit from the BJP National Executive today just before the start of the National Executive meet beginning today in Mumbai.
Joshi, who was invitee member of the National Executive, has in a letter to party president Nitin Gadkari said that he is relinquishing his post in the larger interest of the party. With the ouster of Joshi, Modi has decided to attend the National Executive in Mumbai tomorrow.
Modi had not attended the last meeting of the National Executive held in Delhi in December showing is displeasure over the induction of Joshi into Uttar Pradesh election campaign by BJP president Nitin Gadkari. He had also not campaigned in the UP polls.
The tussle between Modi and Joshi has a long history. Â In 2005, Joshi was forced to resign following a controversy over a CD purportedly showing him in poor light. Joshi believes that the entire CD episode was a doing of Naredra Modi.
After receiving the letter from Joshi, BJP chief Gadkari praised Joshi for showing "large heart" in resigning from the executive in the interest of the organization to "end" any controversy.
