BJP prime ministerial shadow, LK Advani celebrated his 82nd birthday by launching an interactive portal - lkadvani.in- on Saturday, meanwhile his party used the occasion to project him as the best person for the job as he combined the experience of a veteran with modernity and even technology.
The portal, a part of the BJP attempts to connect to the youth especially, first time voters, was launched by former governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Lt Gen (retd) S K Sinha.
Speaking at the function at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, party chief Rajnath Singh said Advani could feel the pulse of the youth and added that the tech savvy PMO hopeful was "a veteran leader always moving with modern times", Singh recalled having seen Advani using a palmtop years ago when it was not common in the country.
He also described the BJP as the "most progressive and forward looking party" which was evident from the fact that it was the first political party in the country to use SMS and email for official communication.
Senior leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and RSS chief K S Sudarshan wished Advani on his birthday. Advani had met former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee two days ago.
Top party leaders, including chief ministers Vasundhara Raje, BC Khanduri and former vice president Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, attended the function that unveiled the latest salvo in the Advani armour.
