Advani, Modi And Political Venom of Hatred

The founding member of Bharatiya Janata Party, Lal Krishna Advani, wrote a blog on April 4. He criticised his protégé and current Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s certain policies without naming him. The one policy which was criticised the most was the divisive politics of the present regime. Advani indirectly attacked the Modi-Shah duo, which was appreciated by a few leaders of the opposition and certain sections of media. But they seem to have forgotten that Advani is ‘preaching’ only after he was denied the ticket to be the BJP’s candidate from Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency. They are overlooking the fact that the Modi-Shah duo was nurtured by Advani himself. In this episode of ‘Hafte Ki Baat’, senior journalist Urmilesh discusses the long political careers of Advani and Modi.
