Lal Krishna Advani health update: The 96-year-old former deputy prime minister was brought to the hospital about two days ago.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited veteran BJP leader LK Advani on his 97th birthday, praising his immense contributions to India's political landscape and wishing him continued good health and a long life.
Lal Krishna Advani 97th birthday: Born in Karachi (present-day Pakistan) on November 8, 1927, Advani joined the RSS as a Swayamsevak in 1942. He served as the BJP National President from 1986 to 1990, then from 1993 to 1998, and from 2004 to 2005.
The membership drive is being conducted in two phases--September 2 to September 25 and October 1 to October 15. Each phase will target specific milestones, ensuring a comprehensive reach across the country.
BJP president JP Nadda visited veteran party leader L K Advani's residence and presented him with a membership renewal certificate as part of the party's ongoing membership drive.
LK Advani, who served as India's Deputy Prime Minister from 2002 to 2004 and as Union Home Minister from 1999 to 2004, was honored with the Bharat Ratna in March.
BJP veteran and Bharat Ratna Lal Krishna Advani was discharged from Apollo Hospital on Thursday, April 4, after his condition remained stable following a night-long stay.
Born in Karachi (present-day Pakistan) on November 8, 1927, Advani joined the RSS as a Swayamsevak in 1942 and served as the BJP president from 1986 to 1990, then from 1993 to 1998 and from 2004 to 2005. He was Deputy PM during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government.
The 96-year-old leader, LK Advani, is being treated for age-related conditions. Advani has had a significant impact on Indian politics, serving as Home Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and BJP National President. He was recently conferred with the Bharat Ratna.
In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, BJP on its own failed to conceive the absolute majority. However, the NDA managed to get 293 seats, clearing the way for the formation of government under PM Modi for the third consecutive term.
A post is going viral in which it is claimed that senior BJP leader LK Advani recently praised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and called him the hero of Indian politics.
The NDA, consisting of various right-wing parties, experienced changes in leadership over time, with Narendra Modi leading the charge in the 2014 and 2019 general elections. Despite facing hurdles like the collapse of the govt due to the withdrawal of support by the AIADMK, NDA bounced back in 1999.
The misleading claims stemmed from a photo showing President Murmu standing while PM Modi and Advani are seated, but other images from the same event reveal the president comfortably seated alongside them.
Bharat Ratna 2024: During his ministerial tenure, Advani abolished Press censorship, repealed all anti-Press legislation enacted during the Emergency, and institutionalised reforms to safeguard the freedom of the media.
Bharat Ratna 2024: PM Modi said MS Swaminathan’s visionary leadership has not only transformed Indian agriculture but also ensured the nation’s food security and prosperity, noting that he knew him closely and always valued his insights and inputs. The agronomist passed away last year.
After re-joining the NDA, Nitish Kumar on Wednesday met PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda.
The Prime Minister took to his personal X handle to announce the highest civilian award for LK Advani and informed that he also congratulated the party veteran on being conferred with the nation’s highest civilian honour.
The Bharat Ratna will be bestowed on Advani in a year of the Ram temple's consecration, which marks a triumphant closure for the BJP of an issue which was thrust into popular consciousness by the veteran leader through his 'Ram Rath Yatra' in 1990.
From being one of the co-founders of the Bharatiya Janata Party to being the longest-serving president of the saffron brigade, LK Advani has been credited with crafting the party's rise through the 90s when it came to power for the first time as the head of coalition governments under Atal Bihari Va
One of the most respected statesmen of our times, his contribution to the development of India is monumental, PM Modi said on X.
