Sankalp Yatra Missing Sankalp

The scheduled Yatra to be conducted by the BJP prime ministerial candidate Lal Krishna Advani has been postponed. The BJP spokesperson Sushma Swaraj said that "We felt at this point of time, ignoring the advice of the NSA will not be an intelligent move. It is, therefore, better to postpone our programmes for the time being".The postponement came after National Security Adviser M K Narayanan met Advani on Monday and told him about the threat of a suicide attack. He advised Advani to keep his appearances at public places like rallies to the minimum for about a month.

Advani was to address a series of rallies in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Haryana as part of his 'Sankalp Yatra' to boost the party's poll preparedness.
