Bhairon Singh Shekhawat’s ambition of becoming prime minister ended even before it was born. The reason was his ill-health. Shekhawat says that Leader of Opposition LK Advani, who is four years younger than him, manages to keep fit due to his disciplined and moderate lifestyle.
The former vice-president admits that while in spite of his poor health he still skips meals and chews tobacco and Atal Bihari Vajpayee is a foodie, Advani is more careful about his routine.
