Patna: A day after Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan hailed L.K. Advani as BJP’s supreme leader, another voice of support for the party patriarch came when on Tuesday Shatrughan Sinha described him as the “most seasoned and mature” leader who must be at the “helm of affairs”.
Sinha also appeared to lend his support to murmurs of discontent in the party over projection of the Gujarat CM as possible prime ministerial candidate saying if it was done through Parliamentary Board “it would be great”.
“I still maintain that Narendra Modi, though he is very popular...The kind of hype that has been created thanks to media and thanks to all of us, he has been very successful,” he said.
“If he has been projected as prime minister after Parliamentary Board meeting, it would be a great thing.  But the rider (is) that from our point of view Advani sahab must be at the helm of affairs,” Sinha said.
Asked if Advani should be in the race for prime ministerial candidate, he said, “there couldn’t be a better person than him in terms of statesmanship.”
