...without a blog is like a letter without a signature," Advani wrote in his first post, noting that he has campaigned in every national election held since independence. "There's been a very conscious attempt by the BJP leadership to get rid of any perceived weakness on account of age," says Mrug, the political analyst. Even if they don't work as political ads per se, they help establish Advani and the BJP as a party that reaches young voters through the media they're most comfortable with...
