BJP dodges queries on Advani

Advani surprised many by announcing his intention of taking up a cross-country “yatra” to create awareness against corruption.

With the Advani around, Swaraj and Jaitley have slim chances of getting themselves groomed for the top post.

Asked about Advani’s  prime ministerial candidature like 2009, Swaraj said at that time he was leader of opposition( hence the claim).

She said Parliamentary Board has given consent to Advani’s “yatra”. “Do not read too much in it,” she said referring to questions whether the party was with Advani on his decision to take the anti-corruption yatra. Swaraj sought to know why doubts were being raised.  “Why are you asking . We will be in the yatra,”she said.
