India News: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar meets Advani and congratulates him on receiving Bharat Ratna. Nitish Kumar's visit to Delhi after rejoining the BJP-led NDA. Kumar has always respected Advani despite their past differences. Advani played a crucial role in supporting Kumar against Lalu Prasad's RJD. Advani was awarded Bharat Ratna by the central government last week.
Advani said that the entire country is now enveloped in a "Ram-maya" atmosphere
Advani, who had launched the epochal Ram Rath Yatra in 1990, said, "On the one hand there was a groundswell of popular support for the movement. On the other hand most political parties were shying away from supporting it as they feared losing Muslim votes. They succumbed to the lure of this vote-bank politics and justified it in the name of secularism."
Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader L K Advani has said the Ram Janmbhoomi movement, whose primary objective was construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, also became a symbol of 'reclaiming the true meaning of secularism from the onslaught of pseudo-secularism'.
