Now, Advani-as-PM chorus in BJP

April 15, 2013 22:36

A fresh chorus of "L K Advani for Prime Minister" has begun in BJP even as a tussle is on between the party and JD(U) over Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi being declared the NDA candidate for the top post.

While a section of BJP leadership is clamouring for Modi as the party's PM candidate for the next Lok Sabha elections, prominent leaders like Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh have said Advani is more suited for the post.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who is being pitted against Modi as a challenge as he is likely to equal the Gujarat CM's record of three consecutive assembly polls, today said Advani is the "tallest" leader in BJP.
