Amit Shah gets Gandhinagar ticket, end of poll road for LK Advani

An end of poll road for veteran LK Advani. The BJP on Thursday replaced L K Advani with party chief Amit Shah as its candidate for Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat. It is like formally bringing curtains down on the career of the 91-year-old stalwart who played a crucial role in the transformation of the saffron outfit from a marginal player to a major political influence. The entire change potentially clears the way for Shah to officially play a role in government, if Narendra Modi gets a second term as PM in May. The move could also presage the benching of other members of the Old Guard, including another former party chief Murli Manohar Joshi.
