Advani has blessed me: Modi

Shortly after he was named the BJP's 2014 poll campaign chief Sunday, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi spoke to party veteran L.K. Advani and sought his blessings -- and got it.

"Spoke to Advaniji on the phone. He gave me his blessings. Honoured and extremely grateful to receive his blessings," tweeted Modi.

Advani did not attend the three-day Bharatiya Janata Party conclave in Goa citing ill health.
