Advani-Modi thaw

On Monday (June 3), senior BJP leader LK Advani took a dig at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi by questioning his development pitch. But, after an emphatic win in the bypolls, sources tell TIMES NOW that Advani congratulated Modi on his victory over the phone and it was after Advani's call that Modi went to meet him.

Advani appeared to pay left-handed compliments to Modi when he said he had made a "healthy" Gujarat into an"excellent" state while Shivraj Singh Chauhan turned around Madhya Pradesh, once called a 'Beemaru' (poor)state.
