New Delhi:L.K. Advani on Wednesday appeared to be a
stumbling block for the BJP in finalising the name of Narendra Modi as
its Prime Ministerial candidate and hectic efforts were underway to
convince him to give up his opposition.
LK Advani has reportedly told BJP president Rajnath
Singh that fronting Narendra Modi as the partys candidate for prime
minister will be a "disaster" and will "destroy the parties prospects"
in the general elections next year.
BJP President Rajnath Singh had a 30-minute meeting with Advani to persuade him on Modis candidature but failed to get an assurance, sources said. His predecessor Nitin Gadkari had met Advani on Tuesday as an emissary of the RSS for the same purpose but reportedly went back empty-handed.
Gadkari left for Nagpur, where the RSS headquarters are located, to brief the Sangh founthead on the developments.
There are reports that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat may meet Modi in Gandhinagar on Thursday to discuss this issue. RSS has categorically said there is no dispute over Modis name but the timing of the announcement has to be decided by the BJP.
