New Delhi: With debate raging in the BJP over making Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi its prime ministerial candidate, Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari on Tuesday said Delhi is far for the party, immaterial of who leads it in General Election.

"BJP projected Atal Bihari Vajpayee as its prime ministerial candidate in 2004 and lost it. Similar thing happened with LK Advani in 2009. As of now, 2014 elections are far and Delhi is far for BJP," Tewari told reporters.

Former union minister and senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Monday backed Modi for Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate but the party said that a decision will come "at an appropriate time".

Helo Minister, Your party was thinking like this in case of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu and you tried to keep away from the general public of these states thinking that they are illiterate and vote for your party by convincing them at the last minute before voting. Now you are running behind MK or JJ to keep your head above water level. Try to understand, do not jump too much, we are waiting for the occasion.
