Sonia, Rahul send Diwali mithai to Advani

November 16, 2015 13:36

While LK Advani may not always be the picture of cheer, the senior BJP leader does not mince words. That Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi greeted him on Diwali and sent him a box of sweets has been broadcast to everyone willing to listen. Advani also let it be known that the Sonia was extremely warm in greeting him.

In fact, it was Advani who went to 10 Janpath (Sonia Gandhi's official residence) to hand over his autobiography, My Country, My life.

The BJP leadership is believed to be upset over this, but have not made any official comment as PM Modi hates back channels getting active.
