Advani cannot solve BJP's problems: Singhal

BALLIA (U.P.), OCT. 19. The VHP Working President, Ashok Singhal, today said the newly-appointed BJP President, L. K. Advani, would not be able to solve the problems faced by the party in the wake of its debacles in the Lok Sabha and Maharashtra Assembly polls.

``BJP and Advani had gained strength due to the Ram temple movement but they did little for the cause of Hindutva while in power. How can they do anything now?" Singhal asked at a press conference here.

``When Advani could do nothing for the Ram temple movement when he was the Union home minister, we have no hope from him now,'' Singhal said, adding Advani has ``disappointed'' him as home minister.

To a question, he said the BJP lost the Lok Sabha elections as also Maharahstra Assembly polls because it had ``deviated'' from the Hindutva issue.
