Gujarat Chief minister Narendra Modi Tuesday welcomed veteran BJP leader L.K. Advani's decision to stay on at his party posts.
"I had said yesterday (Monday) that Advani ji will not disappoint lakhs of Karyakartas (party workers). Today, I whole heartedly welcome his decision," Modi tweeted after party chief Rajnath Singh announced that Advani has decided to stay on in the party's core bodies.
