Advani's Yatra

L.K.Advani soon to begin yatra in Narendra Modi's Mission. The Yatra was started from Karamsad in Gujarat. It is the birth place of Sardar vallabhai patel. It seems the venue might be changed to Bihar's Sitabdiara. The reason for the shift was that Karamsad explained only part of his leader's symbolic choice.

Advani is Patel's role model and wanted to pay obeisance to his hero, the date fixed for the launch, October 11, is Jayaprakash Narayan's birth anniversary.

Ananth Kumar, the general secretary in charge of Advani's yatra, sprinted towards Ahmedabad after landing from Singapore where he had accompanied Sushma Swaraj on an official visit. Kumar was supposed to straighten out the nitty-gritties of the road show but he reportedly said that would have to wait for a couple of more days.

Sushma's first tweet on touching Delhi was she would be at "Narendrabhai Modi's" fast on Monday.

There are signs that the Congress's strategy was faltering. The party calculated that rather than cornering Modi over the 2002 violence, because it had proved counterproductive in the past two elections, it would focus on his "corruption" and "misgovernance".
