Advani,Rajnath,Modi to be at Chikhalias condolence meet

Advani and Rajnath would land at Keshod airport at 2.55 pm by a chartered flight and would reach Junagadh by 4 pm. Modi will land at police parade ground at 4.20 pm and would reach the meeting place by 4.35, Sanjay Koradiya,president of Junagadh city unit of the BJP,said on Sunday.

Koradiya said a team comprising Gujarat BJP chief Ranchhod Faldu,BJP Kisan Morcha president Purushottam Rupala,state revenue minister Anandi Patel and others would receive Advani and Rajnath at Keshod airport,some 40 km west of Junagadh. Modi will be welcomed by district leaders of the party at helipad in Police Training Ground in Junagadh city.

The condolence meeting is scheduled to be held at a hall in Akshar Mandir,a Swaminarayan temple complex in that city. Junagadh district authorities confirmed the visit of the three leaders on Monday.

It will be for the first time that the trio will likely be seen together in public after the much publicised drama of Advani quitting all party posts a day after Modis elevation as the chief BJPs campaigning committee for 2014 general election,on June 9. However,the veteran was persuaded by Rajnath and other leaders of the party to reverse his decision.
