he tallest leader in the BJP could be the next president of India .The BJP has the numbers after the UP election and it is a matter of decision.Like NTR for TDP it Advani for BJP. Advani was the leader who openly opposed for the PMs post in the beginning but later he was won over and convinced. But a shrewd Modi is now proposing Advani for the top post in the country it is reported.
After winning UP and putting BJP in power in the 4 states, Modi has become such a big leader in the party that his name is synonymous with BJP now.The growing popularity of Modi has even troubled many other party leaders, who often meet Advani and complain about him.
Now, if Advani is made the President, he will be further away from his party and other leaders, which will serve as good news for Modi as even though Advani is not a member of the parliamentary board, Modi has to listen to his opinions in the party. Venkaiah is one man who will be very happy with this decision. The Union Minister from AP is a follower of Advani from the beginning and he also prevailed upon the tallest leader to bless Modi for the PMs post.
If Advani is made the President, the first advantage Narendra Modi and Amit Shah will have is that Advani will not interfere in the internal affairs of the party. Also, once Advani becomes the President, other leaders who fall in the way of Modi and Shah will not be complaining to him anymore. All this if, he become the next President of India. It would be interesting to see if Modi will choose Advani, who once was considered a strong Hindu leader, for the key post of President of India.
