BJP's drubbing in the recent Lok Sabha polls has not dented the spirit of its veteran leader LK Advani as he plans to embark on another 'yatra' across the country with an aim of rejuvenating the party cadre for future battles.
"I will not hold public meetings like I did during my rath yatras in the past. I plan to tour the country to meet my party worker at the local level and convince him that there is nothing unusual about an election defeat," Advani told PTI.
During the tour, the senior leader will hold meetings with the party cadre and discuss their grievances and the reasons that led to the BJP's dismal performance. He will also give pep talk to the cadre to lift their sagging morale.
Eighty one-year-old Advani, who reluctantly agreed to become Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha when the party's central leadership pleaded with him after failing to arrive at a consensus on any other candidate, seems to have sprung back to his earlier energetic self.
He has been following a busy schedule since the Lok Sabha poll campaigns.
Advani, who will soon come out with Marathi and Urdu versions of his autobiography 'My Country My Life', is likely to take up the yatra in September after the three-day 'Chintan Baithak' (brainstorming session) of the party gets over on August 21.
