Narendra Modi to welcome Advani's yatra in Gujarat: Ravishankar Prasad

PATNA: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi would welcome BJP leader L.K. Advani's rath yatra in Gujarat when it enters into the state, senior party leader Ravishankar Prasad said today.

"Modi will welcome Advani's yatra in Gujarat when it enters his state," Prasad said in reply to a question whether Modi will be joining the BJP's campaign at any stage during Advani's 40 day-long yatra across the country beginning from October 11 next.

Other chief ministers of the BJP or NDA ruled states will also welcome Advani's yatra during its visit to the particular state, he said.

The senior BJP leader, at the same time, lavished praise on the Gujarat chief minister and described him as an 'exemplary' and 'outstanding' chief minister.
