What is going on in Advani's mind today?

One of the tallest politicians of the modern era, Lal Krishna Advani, helped BJP transcend phenomenal height. He was nursing the hope that someday he could become the President of India. The discussion was also within BJP for the last three years but things didn’t go the right way. When it came the opportune moment, Advani was elbowed out. 

BJP  declared Ramnath Kovind as their presidential candidate. Somewhere one was shocked, who was this Ramnath Kovind? In fact, a lot of people did not know who is Ramnath Kovind? 

Kovind has been Rajya Sabha MP twice.

Also, his claim to fame was that once upon a time he had given a speech at the UN. He has been Governor of Bihar for the last two years

Kovind is BJP's Dalit face. Is it not enough to become a president?

Congress had also made a lesser known politician Pratibha Patil the President, this question was also raised at that time.  There is an uncanny similarity between both the incidents. 

Like Pratibha Patil, Kovind's political and social stature is not so big. 

In the parliamentary democracy, the President does not have much authority but he works as a guide for millions of people in India. 

In Kovind, BJP saw a Dalit's face. BJP saw 2019 victory in Kovind. Why Advani was sidelined is not a great question to comprehend. 

Narendra Modi was his closest disciple during Advani's Rath Yatra. Today, Advani is alone in politics and is imprisoned in a deserted house. 

The CBI has got clearance to prosecute him in the conspiracy to demolish the Babri Masjid. The dream to become the president was broken on that very day.

Advani does not talk to the camera, Advani avoids media glare; the man who used to call shots once upon a time.  

Media used to wait for hours for a sound byte of that Advani, today no one is waiting for him.

Advani could not become the Prime Minister of the country. The opposition used to enjoy calling him a person "Prime minister in waiting".

Everyone knows Advani was hoping that he would be made the Prime Minister.  But his own political disciple, Narendra Modi, shattered his dreams.

After the Gujarat riots, when Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had decided to remove Narendra Modi, Advani stood in the way. We are all aware of Narendra Modi's political journey after him.

But we are not aware of what is going on in Advani's mind today when his own party has shown him the door, Advani must be ruing all his decisions, wrong or right.
