RSS is totally mistaken and giving absolutely wrong advice to Mr. Advani to keep away from the race for the post of Prime Minister. Rather it was RSS and VHP leaders who caused great loss to BJP in last two general elections. Rhetoric on Ayodhya issue cannot win victory for BJP and neither for any national leader.
Mr. Modi is undoubtedly a good leader but the stature of Mr. Advani is far more above that of Mr. Modi. After Atal Vihari Vajpayee, it is only Mr. Advani who enjoys the greater respect and acceptance in the country and in National Democratic Alliance.
It is the ill conceived plan and mischievous strategy of leaders of Congress Party to tarnish the image of Mr. Advani as also Mr. Modi on the issue of secularism so that they may continue to enjoy power. RSS and VHP should desist from putting hurdles in the path of elevation destined for Mr. Advani.
It should be kept in mind that Mr. Advani was the man who catapulted BJP to power and it is again Advani who can shake the throne enjoyed by Congress Party leaders in alliance with regional partners. It is Advani who made his best efforts to keep NDA intact even after the defeat in last two elections.
Popularity of Mr. Modi is one thing and winnability of NDA is other .Therefore I once again say that Mr. Modi is undoubtedly a good leader but he is definitely not better than Mr. Advani, though Advani is very old compared to energetic Mr. Modi.
It is also true that if Mr. Modi is selected for the post of PM candidate in the forthcoming general election, Congress Party and UPA in general leave no stone unturned to malign the respect, honour, caliber and reputation gained by Mr. Modi during last ten years of his rule.
In such position Mr. Nitish will emerge as better candidate for the post of Prime Minister. As such any attempt by RSS and VHP to stop Advani from Rath Yatra or to keep conditions for proposed Rath Yatra by Mr. Advani or to suggest other leaders for suitable candidate for the post of Prime Minister will prove suicidal and disastrous for BJP as a whole.
