Gujarat Minister Narendra Modi and party leader Sanjay Joshi's rivalry refuses to die down in Gujarat. Giving a surprise and all and causing embarrassment to Modi, posters praising Joshi appeared overnight in Gujarat BJP headquarters, and also on the ways in Ahmedabad. Although,
the posters, so removed after the media noticed them, not call Modi but to criticize those who damaged his political career. Interestingly, posters have Sanjay Joshi image bearing BJP symbol for quoting a poem written by a party patriarch Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The posters did not refer to Modi directly, they blamed Joshi the output of the stubbornness of 'a leader' - referring to Modi and
accused him of bullying the party.

"I have no idea who put these posts so I can not say," Gujarat BJP general secretary Vijay Rupani said. BJP workers were also tightlipped about who might be behind putting the posters who also appeared in New Delhi.

You can see that Modi and Joshi sees as arch rivals and Modi was instrumental in Joshi's exclusion of the party national exective last month. Modi attended the national executive only after Joshi's resignation.

Subsequently, Modi also said that Joshi has changed his travel plans to reach Delhi by air, as Joshi's supporters were eager to provide it in a number of railway stations in Gujarat when Joshi traveled in Paschim Express from Mumbai to Delhi.

"Why Modi did not like Joshi? He wants to end his political career as Joshi are equally intelligent basis politician," a Gujarat RSS leader said.

In 2005, Joshi had to resign as secretary to organize a national BJP following a sex CD appeared involving him. However, the CD turned out to be transformed, but the damage was already done. A section of BJP leaders and top RSS leaders showed fingers at Modi to bring the sex CD to order Joshi, who emerged as powerful in the BJP.

BJP leader Sanjay Joshi, who surprised political observers with his sudden departure from the party, today is unlikely to support in the home land of his fiercest opponent, Narendra Modi.

Posters in support of Joshi was placed in Ahmedabad and New Delhi, quoting a poem written by BJP leader AB Vajpayee and bearing the BJP symbol, CNN-ibn reported.

Posters also set up outside the BJP headquarters and BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi residence in New Delhi but was quickly pulled down, IANS reported.

Joshi refused to have anything to do with the posts.

Although the posters do not refer to Modi directly, they blamed Joshi the output of the stubborness of a 'one leader' - referring to Modi and accused him of bullying the party.

However, unlike typical political posters, these things are not said that political leaders were printed and put up.

Joshi, who was seen as a link between the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sang (RSS), resigned at the BJP national
Executive Meet held last month, after which Modi had attended it.

Previously, a number of former BJP leaders met with former Gujarat minister Keshubhai Patel in Ahmedabad where they accused the party of bending to Modi's demands.
