Stranded Advani Not to Speak at BJP National Executive

Advani’s marginalisation has been complete. The senior BJP leader will not speak at the 2-day National Executive in Bengaluru.

Since the party’s inception in 1980, the BJP’s founding fathers - Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani - have addressed its National Executive (NE) meetings barring ill-health.

But this time round,  Advani has been excluded from the list of speakers who will deliver the closing remarks at the two-day meet beginning tomorrow in Bengaluru. It’s a sign that could mark the end of his journey with the party.
