L.K. Advani: Was he cheated by Destiny?
February 16, 2021
I had read the autobiography of L.K. Advani, the BJP’s top honcho “My Country My Life”, a tome running to nearly 1,000 pages in 2008, as soon as it was published. BJP as a political party has had a very chequered growth from its origin as Jana Sangh, then submerged in JP’s Janata Party and finally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). At that time the two leading lights of BJP for the common man were Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the presumptive Prime Ministerial candidate and L.K. Advani. Somehow, despite Vajpayee’s charisma, I preferred L.K. Advani to be the Prime Minister, should the occasion arise in the future. Let it be.
