At this point, Modi can't be appointed LoO, but in a yr. time, Advani ji must retire and Modi may run from Gandhinagar.<br /><br />Removing Advani ji now would create a hassle over who should lead. By far, after Advani, Modi is the tallest leader.Bhavanandahttp://bhavananda.blog.co.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-84384273760159737932009-05-20T19:30:52.934-07:002009-05-20T19:30:52.934-07:005 coastal states accounting for 165 seats in the P...5 coastal states accounting for 165 seats in the Parliament are outside BJP's reach. Even one time allies in these states see it as a liability now. Till this puzzle is solved, there is no hope for the party. <br /><br />In the short term, one hopes there will be some sort of arrangement between BJP-Sena and Raj Thackeray's MNS for the coming assembly elections in Maharashtra. Knowing Balasaheb, this is going to be a big challenge.Arunnoreply@blogger.com
