For three days LK Advani sat listening; the BJP's old yatri did not miss a single session of the BJP's national executive meet. On Friday, when his turn came to speak, he offered the out-of- power cadres of his party some tips for success. It was less speech and more counseling session as he said: "Be clean yourself, so you can attack opponents on corruption; be united, do not speak in multiple voices, and, the BJP needs to be not an opposition party but a credible alternative."
