LK Advani Praises Narendra Modi for development
Korba (Chhattisgarh): After opposing Narendra Modi’s anointment as BJP’s PM candidate, L K Advani on Monday praised him for development in Gujarat.
“Today, if he (Modi) has been entrusted the responsibility of the country by my party BJP, then all the good tasks undertaken by our governments in various states would be carried out all over the country,” Advani told reporters after his first public speech at a rally here since Modi’s anointment.
“It was Narendra Modi who did this task first of providing electricity to all villages of the state,” he said.
Addressing the rally, Advani said, “Shivraj Singh Chaouhan took a pledge of providing electricity to every village in the state. He first provided electricity together in three districts. He has now completed this task. If someone who did this task first of all, it was my colleague Narendra Modi.”
After the announcement on Modi, Advani had confined himself to his Delhi residence before making an appearance at the birthday celebrations of eminent lawyer Ram Jethmalani last evening.
Though Modi was also present at the function, the cold vibes were all too apparent. Modi bent down before the BJP veteran in a gesture of respect and the two exchanged pleasantries but hardly talked to each other.
