L K Advani on Saturday skipped the party's National Exec meeting against the backdrop of his pursued opposition to project Narendra Modi as head of the campaign committee for the next LS elections.
The 85-year-old Advani cited "ill health" as the reason behind not attending the meeting in Panaji.
The National Executive meeting is expected to discuss Modi's role in the general elections.
Advani's presence on the second day of the conclave on Sunday is also uncertain.
Role of Modi in the next general elections to be held in 2014 has divided BJP -- while some pushing for him and others close to Advani opposing him.
Apparently to show opposition, leaders like Uma Bharti, Jaswant Singh, Yogi Adityananth are not attending the National Executive meeting |
