Asking Narendra Modi to be ready to assume a larger role at the national level,senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu today said that the Gujarat Chief Minister was definitely a Prime Minister material.

Speaking here on the last day of the Sadbhavana fast,Naidu said Modi should be ready “to serve the nation”.

“There is a lot of discussion as to whether Modi is a Prime Ministerial candidate. Is there any doubt if he can be a PM? He has all attributes,” he said.

Naidu said there was no red-tape in Gujarat and people were happy to invest here,unlike (Congress-ruled) Andhra Pradesh. Modi was a dynamic leader with a character,capability and calibre,he said.

On post-Godhra riots,Naidu said,”Congress does not want to forget the incident and move forward. Every time they keep reciting Godhra..Godhra…” He challenged Congress to clear its name in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha,Sushma Swaraj said Modi had passed ‘test by fire’ (Agni-pariksha),with the Supreme Court’s latest ruling in Gulbarg Society case coming in his favour.
