Endorsing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as BJP's prime ministerial candidate for the first time, party patriarch L.K. Advani on Wednesday said he would be happy to see him as the Prime Minister.

A visibly placated Advani also lavished praise on Modi for the work done in Gujarat which had brought him accolades not only in the country but also abroad.

'If we get the chance to form next government, we will be happy to see Narendrabhai as our Prime Minister,' Advani said at an event here to mark the inauguration of Institute of Infrastructure, Technology, Research and Management.

'When I came here, I asked an institute official if there is any other educational institution in the country where infrastructure is taught as a subject and the answer was no,' Advani said commending Modi's pursuit of novelty.

'Narendrabhai is always thinking what new he can do, what new initiative he can take,' he said.

'The work done in Gujarat under Narendrabhai is not only praised in the country but all over the world,' Advani said at the event, the third during the day where the two leaders were present together, indicating a thaw in their relations.

Advani, 85, who represents Gandhinagar in the Lok Sabha, was seen at a public function with Modi in Gujarat for the first time after 2011.
