Ahmedabad: Amid growing clamour in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to name Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as its Prime Ministerial candidate for 2014 Lok Sabha elections, veteran BJP leader L K Advani today said there was no competition in the party for the top post.

"There is no competition for the post of Prime Minister within the party," Mr Advani told reporters in Gandhinagar when asked if there is a competition in the party for PM's post.

Mr Advani, who came to attend a meeting of District Rural Development Agency, also predicted early Lok Sabha elections.

"The Lok Sabha elections may be held in 2013," he said, adding Congress would not make any gains in the coming assembly polls in five states.

Meanwhile, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) president Mohan Bhagwat and former Union Minister Murli Manohar Joshi were also in the city today to attend a national seminar organised by state unit of Bharatiya Vichar Manch to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand.
