| Advani uncovered | |
| L K Advani’s Bharat Suraksha Yatra is politically not as marvellous as his Ram Janambhoomi Yatra of 16 years ago.

| The UPA truck | |
| As Advani’s yatra continues between Ahmedabad and Baroda, he’s to address a total of 25 meetings in a stretch of 160 kilometres.

| Kick-off; sans Modi, lights | |
| Advani kicked off his new avatar as a yatri by attending the evening aarati at the Krishna temple in Dwarika.He was accompanied by wife Kamla, daughter and son. As soon as he entered the inner sanctum, the power went off. Not a good sign at all, considering that the ruling BJP in Gujarat has never missed an opportunity to trumpet its Jyoti Gram Yoj...

| Lord Krishna, the politician | |
| The Dwarika temple of Lord Dwarikadhish, which is more than 2,000 years old, now wears a different look. This ancient town of Dwarka, which the locals call Dwarika, will be L K Advani's first stop in Gujarat. Decked up in the BJP’s flags, the temple wears a saffron look.

| BJP's damage control | |
| When L K Advani got his copy of The Hindustan Times on Tuesday which had splashed a story that former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was not in favour of another yatra by Advani, he was both amused and shocked.He promptly asked the party leaders to dig out who had planted the story.Since the story was carried on the day he was scheduled to hol...
