LK Advani seems to have gotten over his sulk. Addressing a public meeting in Chhattisgarh to open a power plant, Advani lauds Narendra Modi's work saying the Gujarat CM was the first leader to work on power for rural areas. He also said that the BJP government in Chhattisgarh had always worked for the people.

On Friday, Modi was named the BJP's candidate for Prime Minister for the 2014 general elections. Advani had objected to the announcement being made at the time saying it would spell "political disaster" for the party.
