The 95-Year-Old L K Advani Is Given The Greatest Possible Treatment By The New BJP
On November 8, the day when L K Advani, a former deputy prime minister of India, turned 95, BJP leaders from all throughout the nation expressed their congratulations to the veteran, many of them posting pictures of themselves with him and wishing him health and longevity. Advani was visited by the defense minister and the prime minister.
Advani, a founding member of the BJP who is credited with helping to shape the saffron party’s emergence as a significant national force, has been marginalized in the wake of Modi’s ascent to the party’s leadership.
The prime minister tweeted a picture of himself and Advani at the latter’s home and wrote, “His contribution to India’s growth is immense. His vision and intelligence have earned him admiration all over India. His contribution to creating and bolstering the BJP is unmatched. I ask for his long life and good health.”
While Advani had strengthened the organization, the union home minister Amit Shah noted in a tweet that he had also made valuable contributions to the country’s development while being part of the government.
Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, referred to the former BJP leader as a source of inspiration.
Advani is one of the tallest people in the nation, according to Rajnath Singh, who also paid him a visit. On November 8, Singh posted a photo of himself with Advani and said, “He (Advani) has made extremely important contributions to the development path of the country, society, and the party.”
Nirmala Sitharaman, the union finance minister, tweeted: “Carrying forward this vow, @PMOIndia @narendramodi Ji has also taken various initiatives to ensure transparency in government.” She recalled the effect of the Jan Chetna Yatra that Advani undertook against illicit money.
Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, S Jaishankar, Hardeep Singh Puri, and Kiran Rijiju, as well as the former chief minister of Karnataka, B S Yediyurappa, all, sent their best wishes to him.
Opposition leaders including TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu, YSRCP Rajya Sabha MP V Vijayasai Reddy, and JD (S) patriarch and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda sent their best wishes.
While the TDP and YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh have been attempting to form an alliance with the BJP, the JD(S) has kept its options open ahead of the 2023 Karnataka elections, where it hopes to once again play a kingmaker.
My sincere wishes to Respected Shri L.K. Advani Ji on his 95th birthday, tweeted Sudheendra Kulkarni, an erstwhile Advani associate who has since turned against the BJP. a political figure who improved Indian politics. His life and struggles continue to serve as an example for me. He and Atalji taught me to not view and engage in politics in just binary ways.
“Your (Advani’s) dedication and service to our nation is an eternal inspiration,” Uddhav Shiv Sena leader Milind Narvekar said.
Additionally, NCP MP Supriya Sule sent her greetings.
