New Delhi: On the 18th day of his Jan Chetna Yatra against corruption, veteran BJP leader LK Advani will address public meetings in Madurai and Srivillputhur in Tamil Nadu, before heading to Thiruvananthapuram for the Kerala leg of his yatra.
On Thursday, before embarking on the second phase of his 38-day journey, Advani rejected criticism that through the yatra, he was seeking to repackage himself.
"Frankly, I do not quite understand why I would like to repackage myself. Also, I would wish to stress with all the emphasis at my command that this yatra has nothing to do with LK Advani. Nor even with the BJP or the next elections. It is concerned essentially with India," he said.
Writing in his latest blog, while on a two-day Diwali break from the "anti-corruption" yatra, he said his campaign was aimed at re-infusing among people the confidence they had lost in India's glory due to the "failings" of the UPA Government.
Blaming the Congress-led coalition for the recent scandals, he said that in the last couple of decades, India had earned a reputation as a remarkable democracy and a country on its way to becoming a major economic power in the 21st century.
