The rift within the BJP is now open at the party's national executive
meeting as senior BJP leader LK Adani is likely to skip a rally on
Friday reportedly being upset with the party's top leaders.
A day after Nitin Gadkari was given the second term as the party President, Advani decided not to attend the party's public meeting, which will be organised after the national executive meet today.
Reports said that Advani was upset with the leaders over former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa's episode. He thinks that the issue was not handled in an effective manner.
He is even unhappy with the RSS over the manner the organisation backed Gadkari to get the second term as the party president. With the extension of Gadkari's term, now Advani finds no important post for him in the party.
Sources said that Advani was also upset with Yeddyurappa when he praised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Advani's absence in the rally revealed that leaders are not united. It can be noted that the national executive meet has been dogged by controversies before the meeting began on Thursday when BJP National General Secretary Sanjay Joshi resigned from the party.
Joshi was the big critic of Modi and finally he had to pay the price for criticising Modi, who had decided not to attend the party meeting in Mumbai.
However, Yeddyurappa lauded Modi for good governance in Gujarat. He backed Modi saying he should be the party's Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
He said that the national executive meeting should deliberate on the issues rocking Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan and Modi should be the prime ministerial candidate. However, Advani got annoyed with BSY for praising Modi.
