Our duty is to free India from Congress: LK Advani "People used to admire us for the ethos of discipline... However, contrary to this aspiration, the image of the BJP that has gained ground in the past few years, is that of a party with differences," he said.
Earlier, at the BJP national council on March 2 in New Delhi, Advani was very critical of the party under Nitin Gadkari. He had made a similar statement last year at a conclave in Mumbai, saying the BJP had failed to respond to the public mood against corruption when Anna Hazare's movement was at its peak. He followed it up with a blog article. Party insiders quickly attributed the outbursts to Advani's "frustration" with the top BJP leaders. The "frustration" stems from their refusal to back his candidature for the prime minister's post in the face of strong opposition from the BJP's parent body, the RSS. He was also upset with the strong cadre support for Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. He even praised Sushma Swaraj, comparing her to Atal Bihari Vajpayee, to shift the focus away from Modi. On Saturday, Advani again equated Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan with Modi at a function in Shahdol in MP, saying they were "role models for development" when the Congress was mired in corruption. via Top Stories - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNGIrknexuJYCCJFdACJRZBPo1dceA&url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Advani-hints-BJP-can-t-easily-beat-Congress/Article1-1023759.aspx | |||
