Khurana to launch `rath yatra'

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Stating that the biggest mistake of his life was to accept the advice of senior BJP leader L.K. Advani to resign as Chief Minister of Delhi in 1995, suspended BJP leader Madan Lal Khurana on Thursday announced that he would embark on a "rath yatra'' in the Capital next month to highlight the problems being faced by the people.

At a press conference here, Mr. Khurana said he would announce the dates of his "rath yatra'' shortly but said it would be undertaken under the banner of Delhi Bachao Manch formed by him recently. Admitting that it was a big blunder on his part to resign as the Chief Minister of Delhi, Mr. Khurana said he was advised by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee not to resign but he went by Mr. Advani's suggestion. "If I had not resigned, such a situation would not have occurred in Delhi and many of the problems would have been sorted out by now,'' he remarked.
