Person Of Interest: L K Advani

On 19th April 2017, the Supreme Court gave a verdict restoring the criminal conspiracy charge against senior BJP leaders in the Babri mosque demolition case - this theoretically ensures that our Person of Interest this week - L K Advani, will not be the next President of India.

The 'iron man of the BJP', changed the face of the party and introduced the concept of hardline hindutva as the co-political ideology of the BJP. Close to three decades since LK Advani rode the Ramjanmabhoomi wave to drag the BJP from the fringes to the mainstream, the octogenarian’s journey seems ironically headed towards ignominy.

At a time when the party that he almost single handed built is at the pinnacle of political power in India, the LK Advani is to be tried for the very event that propelled it there.
