Advani rubbishes reports of Rajya Sabha nomination

January 26, 2014 16:20

Scotching reports that he may be nominated for Rajya Sabha, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader L K Advani today made it clear that he will contest the next Lok Sabha elections, saying this is "in my mind".

"I have not said anything (about going to the RS) and if somebody offers me this suggestion I will think about it. But it is natural, I think, that if I had to consider it I would have done it earlier," Advani told reporters after unfurling the national flag at his residence in New Delhi.
