Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi
Udupi, Jun 10: Sri Vishweshawateertha Swamiji of Pejawar Math on Monday June 10 said that senior BJP leader L K Advani had taken a rash decision in resigning from all posts he had held in the BJP.
"Being a senior leader, he should have given his blessings to Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. By resigning in protest over Modi's appointment as party poll panel chief, Advani has taken a hurried and rash decision," Pejawar Swamiji told reporters.
"Advani's resignation is an internal matter of the BJP. He is known to me personally, but I have no political connection with him. I cannot give any suggestion or opinion on this," he added.
"However, Advani should have blessed Modi and supported him in leading the BJP poll campaign. It was not right on his part to take this hurried decision," he further said.
He also informed that he would be meeting Advani on June 19 during Ganga Abhiyan at New Delhi.
L K Advani on Monday sent shockwaves across BJP after announcing his resignation from all party posts he had held. The decision came a day after Modi's elevation as the chairman of BJP national election campaign committee, a move that Advani had opposed.
