"Nation first, party next, self last" wrote the senior most BJP leader in his blog post. Advani took a jibe at those who call BJP a party which tags it's critics as enemies and anti-nationals. "Right from it's inception, the BJP has never regarded those who disagree with us politically as our enemies, but only as our adversaries. Similarly, in our conception of Indian nationalism, we have never regarded those who disagree with us politically as anti-national," riposte Advani through his post.

The “founding father” of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the six time Member of Parliament (MP) from Gujarat’s Gandhinagar constituency, L. K. Advani, wrote a blog reviving his strong attachment with his party. Advani cleared the air and backed his party’s ‘nation first’ agenda amid news about rift between him and BJP. The 91 year old Advani had to give up his Gandhinagar seat for the BJP national president, Amit Shah, and it was speculated that the senior leader is left behind and has been forgotten. There were reports that stated that the bold step by Amit Shah to fight from Gandhinagar seat, may have distanced the senior leader from the party. However, Advani scrambled these reports by scribbling his thoughts in the blog post.
