Lk Advani Profile

BJP leader LK Advani will be honoured with the Bharat Ratna, the country's highest civilian award, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced today in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee favoured a dhoti and kurta teamed with a Jawahar jacket and chappals or slippers. On a police proforma that the government says is routinely filled by prominent politicians for security reasons, BJP leaders LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi are listed as Mr Vajpayee's close associates.

Last week, when the BJP announced its candidates for Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal was left out, which fueled speculation that the seat was being reserved for a high profile leader. It is now at the centre of the party's biggest crisis ahead of next month's national election.
