Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shatrughan Sinha on Monday said the party should head to the 2014 Lok Sabha polls under the guardianship of L K Advani as "experience and vision" are needed to guide the party.
"Like Veer Kunwar Singh, who fought the British at the ripe age of 80, Advaniji, who is also 80 plus, has enough energy left to guide the party in the upcoming polls," he told a function on the eve of the birth anniversary of Kunwar Singh, organised by the BJP.
"Experience and vision are needed for guiding the party and the country and Advaniji has these qualities," said Sinha, who regards the veteran BJP leader as his political inspiration.
"Lack of experience cannot be compensated through youthfulness," he said in a veiled remark about Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who is widely considered to be the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate
