Allies' opposition mounts against Narendra Modi being named PM candidate; JD (U), Shiv Sena raise banner of revolt

Janata Dal (United) and Shiv Sena have publicly aired their views that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is not acceptable to them as a Prime Ministerial candidate.

 Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who himself is an aspirant for the post or at least who hopes to play a crucial role in selecting a secular-looking Prime Minister has demanded of the BJP to make up its mind about the candidature within a week.

 The call would be a precursor to his making cogent decisions. Janata Dal (U) President Sharad Yadav has made it clear that its alliance with the BJP "is based on secular credentials and secularism", making it clear that Modi is simply unacceptable. 

Meanwhile, Uddhav Thackeray,working president of Shiv Sena has said his party is against Narendra Modi becoming the PM. He wants Sushma Swaraj as the PM candidate.
