Advani resignation posters appear outside BJP HQ, patriarch adamant on quitting

Crisis, there is, in the party. The RSS has made it very clear that the decision to anoint Narendra Modi as chairman of party election campaign committee stands, and there shall be no rollback.



In Kushinagar, UP, former BJP ideologue K N Govindacharya said, Advani's resignation was unfortunate. "It seems Advaniji broke because of lack of trust and dialogue", said Govindacharya.

In Haridwar, Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Ashok Singhal, a known detractor of Advani, remarked; "Advaniji should go on vanprastha (retirement)."

Saffron sanyasin Uma Bharti will be calling on Advani today. In Bhopal, she said: "Modi is like a son to him. It was Advani who had made
Modi the Chief Minister of Gujarat and he (Modi) used to
manage Advani's constituency all along."
