BJP veteran leader lK Advani on Saturday faced protests by a group vouching support for Narendra Modi, as the former chose to skip party’s National Executive Meeting in Goa, where the Gujarat Chief Minister is expected to be given a larger role.
While the BJP was quick to condemn the incidents saying the protesters have nothing to do with the party, Congress latched on to it reminding people of the treatment meted out to senior leaders within the Opposition party. A handful of protesters holding a banner ‘Narendra Modi’s Army’ shouted pro-Modi slogans outside Advani’s 30-Prithviraj Road residence on Saturday afternoon.
