New Delhi, Feb 28: As BJP pushes "brand Vajpayee" ahead of Lok Sabha elections, Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani has said that it was not a "one-man" party.
"This is a very standard way, not not only in the manner in which you are putting (the question). You see the last five years and in those five years you can get hold of so many news items which keep on projecting a kind of dichotomy between Vajpayeeji and me and ultimately nothing turns out," he told a private news channel.
He was replying to a question that he was often referred to as the 'iron man' of BJP and whether he felt sad that it is Vajpayee and nobody else including him that NDA and BJP is banking on.
Giving an example how privatisation and liberalisation in the UK had come to be known as "Thatcherism" after then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Advani said "similarly whatever has been achieved by the NDA Government has come to be naturally identified with Atal Bihari Vajpayee who within the BJP is no doubt our tallest leader".
