Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath also extended his birthday wishes to the leader on the Koo app. “Birthday greetings from the bottom of my heart to Shri Lal Krishna Advani ji, the guardian of the BJP family, a strong sign of value-based politics, an excellent administrator and a guide to all of us. Praying to Lord Shri Ram to grant you good health and a long and happy life,” he said.
Advani was instrumental in BJP’s rise as a major national political party. He tied its fortunes with the Ram Janmabhoomi movement in the late 80s and spearheaded the party and its forerunner Jana Sangh for decades along with former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Born in Karachi in undivided India, Advani joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevan Sangh (RSS) and then the Jana Sangh since the latter’s foundation.
