8216;8216;While the world acknowledges that India is doing well, Congress, which has done little in 50 years, says India isn8217;t shining,8217;8217; said Advani, while addressing a rally at Yavatmal.

Advani also called for 8216;8216;delinking8217;8217; Ayodhya and the polls and put the NDA agenda ahead of the BJP8217;s. He said the NDA was firm that a solution to the Ayodhya dispute would come through a court verdict or negotiated settlement between the two communities. 8216;8216;The way things have moved in the last six to eight months, I am confident that a solution can be found through negotiations to the satisfaction of all,8217;8217; Advani said on the tenth day of his Bharat Uday Yatra.

Interestingly, Shiv Sena leaders participated in Advani8217;s yatra for the first time. Balasaheb Thackeray had yesterday asked the Union Minister of State for Finance and Buldana Shiv Sena MP Anandrao Adsul to attend Advani8217;s Yavatmal rally.

On Friday, party president Uddhav Thackeray reiterated the Sena8217;s support to the yatra and attended Advani8217;s Nagpur rally in the evening.

Entering Vidarbha on the tenth day of his tour, Advani touched on the issue of separate statehood. 8216;8216;We the Centre will be happy if the Maharashtra Assembly passes such a resolution because the BJP had favoured statehood for Vidarbha,8217;8217; he said.
