BJP leaders have stormed to L K Advani’s house after he announced his resignation from all party positions. Advani is a BJP patriarch who seems distressed over certain recent decisions taken by the party. Several BJP members have walked to him with an aim to convince the veteran politician to reconsider his decision.
Senior party leaders Uma Bharti and Nitin Gadkari visited Advani at his home while senior leader Jaswant Singh has called the BJP patriarch to re-think his decision. Speaking to the press, Jaswant said the issues highlighted in Advani’s resignation letter are valid and BJP members should take them seriously.
The resignation came in the aftermath of Narendra Modi’s appointment as poll campaign chief. Advani claims that BJP is no longer the same idealistic party created by Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, Deendayal Upadhyaya, Nanaji Deshmukh and Vajpayee.
“For some time I have been finding it difficult to reconcile either with the current functioning of the party, or the direction in which it is going. Most leaders of ours are now concerned just with their personal agendas,” Advani wrote in his letter.
Janata Dal (United) national spokesperson Shivanand Tiwari said yesterday; “It is a matter of great concern that Advani, who had built BJP brick by brick is being treated shabbily by his own party leaders who ran roughshod over him and went ahead with their decision to anoint Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the BJP poll campaign panel chief.”
