Kick-off; sans Modi, lights

Advani kicked off his new avatar as a yatri by attending the evening aarati at the Krishna temple in Dwarika.
He was accompanied by wife Kamla, daughter and son.
As soon as he entered the inner sanctum, the power went off. Not a good sign at all, considering that the ruling BJP in Gujarat has never missed an opportunity to trumpet its Jyoti Gram Yojana that will revolutionise electricity supply in Gujarat.
Power was restored and as the temple priest in charge of registering visitors was putting down Advani’s name, the electricity went off for a second time.
Also, though Advani was given a ceremonial welcome, people didn’t look too thrilled, given the absence of Modi.
