[Archive] Having resigned from all party positions in protest against Narendra Modi being named the party’s election mascot for 2014, Advani found himself facing ferocious hostility from within his party. In 24 hours, he quietly withdrew his resignation. It was his Last Great Sulk, and it ended up establishing just how irrelevant he is to the BJP today. To understand the diminution of the Advance phenomenon and the distance he has travelled from the cult status he had within the Sangh Parivar till as late as the beginning of this century, it is necessary to go back to his First Great Sulk: in the aftermath of the Jinnah episode of 2005. The contrast between what happened in 2005 and what happened in 2013 is telling and captures incremental and important shifts in the politics and power matrix of the BJP.
