Mumbai: Senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani today refused to be drawn into the controversy over Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's remark that BJP was a party of thieves and looters.
Advani told mediapersons here that he would not react to Rahul Gandhi's remarks, nor did he ever reacted in the past.
Advani claimed that the BJP would come to power in MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Delhi, except Mizoram.
In a left-handed compliment, Advani said, Congress leaders were working more than BJP workers in ensuring that the BJP returns to power in the next Lok Sabha elections.
On late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray, Advani said, "I never had any differences of opinion with him. He used to joke a lot. He was a different kind of personality in politics, and his popularity can be gauged from the crowds that assembled today in Shivaji Park."
