New Delhi:06 Feb 2013

Gujarat Chief Minister and firebrand BJP leader Narendra Modi on Wednesday arrived in the national capital to interact with students of a leading Delhi University college.

As per reports, the Gujarat Chief Minister will deliver a key note address at the Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) and also interact with the students and the faculty of the renowned institution.

SRCC has produced a string of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including Arun Jaitley, Vijay Goel, Jagdish Mukhi and Vijay Jolly.

Modi is expected to speak around 4 pm as part of SRCC’s Business Conclave 2013.

The firebrand BJP leader’s visit to the college will, however, see protests in the campus by at least one Leftist student group.

Durgesh Tripathi of the All India Students Federation (AISF) said its members will demonstrate outside the college.

Ahead of Modi’s visit, Tripathi said that it was wrong for SRCC, reputed to be one of the best colleges in Asia in commerce, to invite him who was chief minister during the 2002 Gujarat communal riots.

Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls due in 2014, there is growing clamour in the BJP that Narendra Modi should be named the prime ministerial candidate.

Among the leaders who have openly come out in his support are Ram Jethmalani, Yashwant Sinha, CP Thakur and Shatrughan Sinha.

Another party colleague Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has said Modi was one of its eight leaders who could become the prime ministerial candidate.

The SRCC was founded in 1920 as Commercial School and was initially located in Old Delhi. It became the Commercial College, and got affiliated to Delhi University in 1926.

It was named the SRCC, after industrialist Lala Shri Ram, in 1952.
