It is difficult to say whether Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi would be good or not for industry and economy if he were to become the Prime Minister, Godrej Group Chairman Adi Godrej has said.

"Now, I do know Narendra Modi has done a reasonably good job in Gujarat, may be if he becomes the Prime Minister he can do a good job at the Centre, but he has not been tested at the Centre.

"He has never been in the Union Cabinet. It's difficult to say," Godrej said when asked whether he believes Modi would he be good for Indian industry and Indian economy if he were to become the Prime Minister.

"Sometimes people are very good as chief minister of a state. They may not be as good central ministers or the Prime Minister. One has to see one has to check how it evolves," he told Karan Thapar in CNN-IBN's show 'Devil's Advocate'.

Asked about concerns that early elections would lead to political uncertainty, he said: "It's possible. If the third front does extremely well in the elections it could lead to certain uncertainty."
