Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh today asked his party men not to comment or speculate on the 2014 prime ministerial candidate. While interacting with the media persons in New Delhi, he said that only the BJP's central parliamentary board can take a decision on the PM candidate. Rajnath also said that this was the last time he was appealing to party members to stop speculations on the Prime Ministerials candidate. There is intense speculation that Modi, who secured an electoral hat-trick in Gujarat in December last year, can spearhead the BJP's campaign in 2014 polls. Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha and noted criminal lawyer Ram Jethmalani have last month openly endorsed Modi's name as prime ministerial candidate. The other BJP leaders have been so far evasive on this issue.
