BJP Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha Sushma Swaraj was keen to contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections but has now given up the idea. The party’s prime ministerial candidate, LK Advani, told her she was one of the few people he could depend on to campaign for him. Swaraj was quick to respond, saying, “Advaniji, I have understood your signal. I will not contest the election and instead campaign for you.”
