No Advani in next LS election, says Venkaiah
New Delhi
Oct. 8: Ending speculation, the former BJP president, Mr M. Venkaiah Naidu, on Friday declared that the party will not contest the next Lok Sabha elections under the leadership of Mr L.K. Advani and agreed that it would be logical for the party to get a new leadership at that juncture.
“Mr Advani is not going to contest the next elections. We are not going to fight the next elections under his leadership. Next general elections are going to happen when you know (2014),” said Mr Naidu in an interview to a private news channel.
Agreeing that it sounded logical that in such a scenario the BJP would need a new leader, Mr Naidu said for this the change of guard would have to take place couple of years before the polls.
