Announcement being seen as BJP's way to reach out to Advani sympathisers as well as section of Sangh-VHP cadre. It also cashes in on sentiment of Ram temple movement in run up to polls.
Modi Saturday announced that Advani, BJP's longest-serving president, will be conferred with the Bharat Ratna, describing his contributions to India's development as 'monumental'.
Describing Advani's contributions to India's development as ‘monumental’, Prime Minister Narendra in a post on X, expressed his privilege in having learnt from the leader.
As then Bihar Chief Minister, Yadav had halted LK Advani's Ram Rath Yatra in 1990, by getting the BJP leader arrested in Bihar before he could reach Ayodhya.
The Special CBI court notes the crowd of these ‘lawless kar sevaks demolished the disputed structure, impacting communal harmony in various parts of the country'.
LK Advani, the face of Ram Janmabhoomi movement, welcomed the verdict with Jai Shri Ram chants. MM Joshi says the verdict will embolden Hindu-Muslim friendship.
The special court in its verdict said the event was not 'pre-planned' and that the demolition happened at the spur of the moment, acquitting all 32 accused who were on trial.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
