Bal Thackeray dies: This loss has left a gaping void in nation's politics, says LK Advani
"It is rare in the 65 years of Independent India that I have seen a political leader who has left such a deep and abiding imprint on the country's events as Balasaheb Thackeray. Uncompromising in his patriotism, he possessed remarkable qualities of leadership and abundance of attributes of head and heart," BJP senior leader L K Advani said.
