Another Modi sweep: with 24 Muslim candidates, BJP wins big

Narendra Modi's party may not be sure of whether to pick him as its prime ministerial candidate, but the Gujarat Chief Minister is depositing a series of endorsements for their consideration. He was re-elected in December for his fourth consecutive term as chief minister; the European Union confirmed last week that it has ended the boycott that began after the Gujarat riots of 2002; and today, the BJP swept local elections held on Sunday, winning 47 of 75 municipal corporations across the state.
