Advani and Rahul - posterboys both
By IANSFriday, March 20, 2009
NEW DELHI - He may be 81, but the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) L.K. Advani can sure be called a posterboy. At least going by the huge hoardings his party has put up ahead of the general elections.
Several hoardings have come up at crossings in the national capital in the last few days. They read, ‘Mazboot Neta, Nirnayak Sarkar (strong leader, decisive government)’ - along with images of the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Advani.
As for the ruling Congress, its earlier hoardings boasting of the government’s achievements in the last five years had photographs of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, party chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Now more and more blowups of young party general secretary and MP Rahul Gandhi are taking over.
