Advani’s resignation is unfortunate. His contribution to the BJP, from the Jan Sangh days, was great, and his active involvement was needed both for the party and the country. Hope the party leadership would succeed in defusing the crisis

It is an internal matter of the BJP… SAD is an inseparable ally of the NDA

Whatever has happened is purely an internal matter of the BJP. Politically, I do not think it would be proper for me to make any kind of comment on it

BJP without Advani is unthinkable... His resignation is a bolt from the blue for the party. Some of the leaders who are shedding crocodile tears over Advani are responsible for pushing the party to ruin. If things are not settled quickly, many more resignations will follow in the days to come and the party will be in deeper trouble. To hurt him (Advani) like this at this stage of life is really heart breaking
