New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Saturday denied that its leader L.K. Advani had plans to quit following the defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. "He would continue to guide the party," BJP leader Arun Jaitley told reporters. Though senior leader L.K. Advani, who was projected as the party's prime ministerial candidate, has won by more than 121,000 votes, his margin has come down from 217,000 votes from last time. Suresh Prasad who runs a tea stall at the busy Ashok Rajpath area in Patna said that he was happy that Sinha had won the elections but disappointed that the BJP performed badly across the country. In Patna, Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Shatrughan Sinha proved to be the real 'Bihari babu'winning against Shekhar Suman of the Congress.
