 Lal Krishna Advani: PM in waiting is over, now it is President in waiting

Is it destiny or the game that fate plays or simple politics that Lal Krishna Advani’s wait to occupy the highest office whether of the government or of the state, has become endless?

One would be tempted to say the game of politics is very dirty. Its most glaring example is found in the Mahabharata, where Bheeshma Pitamah bore uncountable arrows on his body and ultimately had to lay on a bed of arrows till he breathed his last.

Lal Krishna Advani is passing through more or less similar experience. He cherished a dream of becoming country’s Prime Minister all through his life but in the end of the day he was elbowed out of this race to 7 Race Course Road.

Next month, country is going to elect its fourteenth President and the ruling party at the Centre BJP has picked Bihar Governor Ram Nath Kovind for the highest post. With this, Lal Krishna Advani has lost the last hope of occupying any high post in his political career.

MODI-FYING INDIA

In April, two Indian writers published an ode to their Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Titled \"Forever in Our Hearts,\" it recounts his achievements while singing his praises. Such gushing reverence captures the essence of Modi's popularity at home and among Indians abroad. But it also points to some darker developments in the world's largest democracy, as its citizens head to the polls.
