New Delhi, August 8: Narendra Modi has officially replaced LK Advani in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s new posters for its 2014 election campaign, ending any lingering doubts about the party's top star and Prime Ministerial face.

The BJP is all set to splash India with the new posters starring a smiling Narendra Modi, with a new slogan: "Nayi Soch, Nayi Ummeed. (New thinking, new hope)"

The posters replace the BJP's old banners which had LK Advani's image with the slogan: "Sushasan sankalp, Bhaajpaa hi vikalp (BJP is the only option for good governance)'.

 

The new posters mark the formal end of an era when leaders like Mr Advani and former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee shared top billing on poll posters and campaigns - perhaps a message to the faction within the party that still has reservations about Mr Modi's stewardship.
