Advani may be coaxed to give up constituency for daughter

July 17, 2013 15:55

Who is that one person, or may be two people, who can tell senior BJP leader LK Advani where to get off?

The top brass of the BJP and the RSS have been struggling to tell Advani that it would be difficult for him to contest from the Gandhi Nagar Lok Sabha Parliamentary Constituency and it was time he stood back.

So, the top brass decided to get the message conveyed by his son Jayant Advani, but then someone chanced upon an even better idea. Insiders in the Advani family say that the patriarch listens to his daughter, Pratibha, more than his son and she may eventually bell the cat. Rumours are that Advani will be coaxed to give up the seat for Pratibha.
