Yashwant Sinha is ‘right candidate’ to be Jharkhand CM: LK Advani
BJP veteran LK Advani on Tuesday backed party leader Yashwant Sinha saying he is the "right person" to be the chief minister and suggested that he should leave jail after securing bail to lead the "historic agitation" against power crisis in support of small villages of Jharkhand.
Both Advani as also Sinha, who has held important portfolios as Finance and External Affairs Minister in the previous NDA regime, are seen as part of the “sidelined” old guard that also includes veterans like Murli Manohar Joshi and erstwhile senior leader Jaswant Singh. Sinha did not run for election this time. His son, Jayant, contested and won this parliamentary seat. Also Read Jharkhand BJP leader Yashwant Sinha gets bail from court
Emerging after his meeting with Sinha, Advani said the Jharkhand leader “is the right person to be chief minister after the Assembly elections later this year”. “What I feel is that when he is getting support and respect from all BJP stalwarts, time has come Sinha should respect the feeling of BJP leaders, not only from Jharkhand, but also in the country and come out of jail,” Advani told reporters after his two-hour visit to the prison.
Advani said Sinha should thereafter lead the ongoing agitation against power crisis and ‘corruption’ in the GM’s office in the Hazaribagh area of the electricity board.
