Bharatiya Janata Party for LK Advani fighting from Gandhinagar seat

Ahmedabad: Gujarat BJP on Tuesday decided to recommend the name of veteran leader L.K. Advani to contest the Lok Sabha election from his Gandhinagar constituency. The state party unit will also strongly recommend that BJP’s prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi should also contest from his home state too as it is the “wish and demand of people of Gujarat as well as party workers.”

The decision to make these recommendations to the party’s central leadership was taken by the state parliamentary board, which met in Gandhinagar on Tuesday at Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s residence. Party state unit president R. C. Faldu will take the recommendations to Delhi, where BJP's central election committee (CEC) is likely to take a final decision on the issue.
