BJP’s national executive meet to begin on Friday, all eyes on LK Advani’s address
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party’s national executive will meet on Friday in Bengaluru and all eyes will be on whether party patriarch LK Advani will address the meet or not. Sources said the party had approached Advani to address the national executive, but he is not very keen to speak.
Party spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said, “All ministers will be present at the National Executive meet. How can we work without the blessing of senior leaders?”
He declined to give a categorical answer when asked whether Advani will deliver the valedictory address as has been the practice ever since the party was founded in 1980. There are reports that Advani is not keen to speak even though party leaders want him to.

Advani had not attended the National Executive meet held in Goa in June 2013 as he was upset over moves to project Narendra Modi as the party’s Campaign Committee chief for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
In his absence, the National Executive had gone ahead and named Modi as the Campaign Committee Chairman. This infuriated Advani further and he resigned from all party posts a day after the conclave ended on June 8. He was later persuaded by party leaders to withdraw his resignation.
