Senior BJP leader Ashok Sahu, who had unsuccessfully contested from Kandhamal Lok Sabha seat in 2009, has openly backed Narendra Modi as the future leader of the country and even asked veteran leader LK Advani to quit from politics and restrain himself from making any adverse comments that would create confusion within the party.
Here’s what Ashok Sahu had to say on Facebook:
Shri LK Advani, as the senior most leader of the BJP can pour accolades to any of his junior colleagues in the Party for their achievements, but by doing so, neither should he compare them with each other nor the least, comparing any one of them with Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. To compare any one with Atalji is to insult Atalji.
Born on November 8, 1927 in Karachi (now in Pakistan) Shri LK Advani is 86 years old. He has come a long way to shape the country’s politics and emergence of BJP as the only alternative to Congress before the nation. Now it is time for him to call ‘quits’ and live a life in reflections and recollections. His not well-thought-of comments should be restrained in his own interest and the nation’s interest besides that of the Party. He should let the Nation’s Will to shape in to reality. Nation’s rebuilding process be passed over to younger hands and minds.
Vande Maataram !!!
