[1]

Senior BJP leader L.K. Advani, accompanied by his daughter Pratibha and other party leaders including Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley, today visited the ancestral house of late socialist leader Jayprakash Narayan and paid tributes.

They then arrived at the Gandhi Maidan, from where Advani's Jan Chetna Yatra will commence and paid floral tributes at the statue of Loknayak J.P. Narayan.

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and deputy chief minister S.K. Modi also reached Sitabdiara.

Earlier, the chief minister participated in official functions for rural electrification and other development schemes to be implemented in Sitabdiara.

Advani has said his 'rath yatra' would put pressure on the government to retrieve black money stashed away in foreign shores and pursue good governance, as well as clean politics for a change.
