This time, it would be no Vajpayee show, it would be the Advani show at the scheduled national executive meeting of BJP in Bhopal. Vajpayee will not be able to attend the national executive meeting in Bhopal started from Friday. The doctors have advised Vajpayee to skip the meeting because of his health problems. They advised him to take rest and not to go Bhopal.

According to Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Vajpayee would miss the BJP national executive meeting for the first time in several years. The gathering of party workers would not receive the address from Vajpayee. This is the clear indication that Vajpayee would hardly play any role in the national politics now because of his health problems.

The report says that Vajpayee rarely goes out of home. He is hardly able to carry out a daily routine. On Thursday, BJP president Rajnath Singh had called on Vajpayee in Delhi. Earlier, Vajpayee was admitted in AIIMS from August 22 to 26 and doctors advised him to take more rest. He has become very weak and requires assistance in tending to himself.

On the other hand, Advani is firing all guns on the issue of Ram Setu and strongly criticized Tamil Nadu CM Karunanidhi for his statement against the religious belief of Hindus. Advani took the opportunity of the ‘Ram Setu’ issue very well to attack on the UPA. He is looking more vocal in media even than the party president Rajnath Singh on this issue. LK Advani would address party workers at Bhopal as the only veteran from the stage now.
