It will be Advani after Atal: Rajnath

New Delhi: Apparently sticking to the seniority rule, BJP chief Rajnath Singh has said that his predecessor L.K. Advani would be the party's candidate for the Prime Minister's post after Atal Bihari Vajpayee, as he had ruled himself out of the race for the top job.

``Who after Atal...? It will be only Advani after Atal. He will be the natural choice. Only he should become the Prime Minister. This is the law of nature, with which Rajnath cannot fight,'' Mr. Singh told NDTV.

The BJP chief, however, parried a question regarding the party's choice for President.

``Let the elections in Uttar Pradesh get over first. A meeting of the party's parliamentary board will be called [to decide on the matter],'' he said when asked whether the party would prefer a second term for President Kalam.

Asked about his comments on the fake encounter case in Gujarat, Mr. Singh said he believed the Government would do no wrong. — PTI
