Madhya Pradesh state BJP chief Prabhat Jha on Friday said in Indore that senior leader LK Advani was the party’s supreme leader.
Advani had on Thursday made a veiled attack on BJP president Nitin Gadkari and called for introspection within the party over its current state of affairs.
When asked for a comment on Advani’s remarks, Jha told reporters: “Advani is our supreme (Sarvshreshtha)leader…we must follow his diktats. He is our guide….he has lot of affection for Gadkariji.”
People of the country had great expectations from BJP, he added.
About today’s editorial in BJP mouthpiece Kamal Sandesh, which expressed dismay about happenings in BJP-ruled Gujarat, Karnatak and Rajasthan, Jha said the editorial was very simple and concentrated on strengthening organisation at the grass root level.
