Observing that voting percentage among the educated section was far lower than that in the lower rungs of society, senior BJP leader LK Advani has favoured compulsory voting as a remedial measure.

Contending that the government had already implemented higher pensions for the armed forces, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday today said BJP leader L K Advani's contention that 'One Rank-One Pension' (OROP) promise was yet to be met was "not correct."

Senior BJP leader LK Advani was today elected unopposed as the working chairman of NDA till incumbent Atal Bihari Vajpayee recovers from ill-health while Acting NDA Convenor Sharad Yadav has been elected as the Convenor.

Facing criticism over its role in the Opposition, the BJP on Friday unveiled a two-pronged attack on the government announcing massive agitation on price rise and warned of a "political confrontation" against any plans to give autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir.

Senior BJP leader L K Advani today seemed to echo the sentiments of Congress President Sonia Gandhi on the attitude of leaders when he said there was a need to change the image of "the ugly Indian politician".
