Advani Meets RSS Chief Ahead of Yatra


Nagpur, Sep 21 (IANS): Ahead of his nationwide tour against corruption, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L.K. Advani met Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat Wednesday.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, Advani said he intended to visit the north-east during his 'yatra' this time.

"It will be throughout the country and we will try to touch all major cities," he said. "I would like to go to the north-east also."

The 'yatra' is likely to start Oct 11, birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan, whose mobilisation of students in 1974 and call for Total Revolution provoked the then prime minister Indira Gandhi into imposing an unpopular internal emergency, which caused her downfall in 1977.

Advani's visit came amid reports of RSS fears of Advani's 'yatra' being an attempt to project himself as a prime ministerial candidate. However, RSS sources say, the 'yatra' has its support.

Advani denied any differences with the RSS.

    BJP TELLS ALWAYS THEY HAVE TO DO NOTHING WITH RSS AND NOW ADVANI HAS GONE TO MEET RSS CHIEF WHY ? BJP IS PLAYING DOUBLE GAME AND ITS SURVIVAL ALSO IS DEPENDED ON RSS. SHAMLESS BJP LEADERS. ADVANI IS THINKING IF HE DOES YATRA HE WILL BE THE FUTURE PM OF BJP. BUT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AND IT WILL BE ONLY A DREAM FOR ADVANI. IN BJP THERE ARE SO MANY LEADERS WHO WANT TO BE PM. ADVANI SHOULD FORGET HE WILL BE A PM ONE DAY. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AT ALL. IN BJP NO ONE WILL LET ADVANI TO BE PM EVEN IF IT WINS 2014 LOKSABHA ELECTIONS.

    From Advani to Baba Ramdev, all of them want to take the advantage of the popular movement Anti-Corruption to elevate their personal status for future hidden agenda of vote bank.

    If Advani loves his party, he should sack Yeddy Reddys from BJP and then go on Yathra. Communalism is the only gain in this mans Yathra!!
