Advani8217;s b8217;day BJP8217;s lucky day?
A majority of senior Delhi BJP leaders are queuing up to file their nominations on Saturday 8212; the birthday of their chief L K Advani who turns 81.
The BJP chief ministerial candidate V K Malhotra, leader of Opposition Jagdish Mukhi, Hari Nagar candidate Harsharan Balli, Nangloi candidate Raj Singh, Dwarka candidate Pradyuman Rajput, Brijwasan candidate Satyaprakash Rana and several others have decided to file their nominations tomorrow.
Many including Balli would first visit Advani8217;s residence to seek his blessings before filing nominations.
Poonam8217;s volte face
Poonam Azad8217;s fall from grace is pitiable. After the aggressive campaigning during the last Assembly elections, she is stranded ticketless this year. Azad had a taste of her party8217;s attitude towards her on Wednesday.
After her much-publicised resgination, when she reached the party president Rajnath Singh8217;s residence to submit her resignation, neither Singh nor his secretary were present. The staff told Azad to drop her resignation in a drop box and leave. The very next day Azad did flip-flop and blushingly re-entered the party fold.
