This is Advani's new rath

Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] senior leader L K Advani [ Images ] and party chief Rajnath Singh will embark, seperately, on a month-long cross country 'Bharat Suraksha Yatra from April 6.

Advani will begin his rath-yatra from Dwarka in Gujarat, while Singh will take off from Puri in Orissa.

The rath that will carry Advani has been designed by Dilip Chhabria [ Images ] Designs Pvt Ltd in Chinchwad, Pune. 

It is fitted with facilities like an air-conditioned rest room, aircraft-like toilets, public address system and satellite TV.

A new bus has been converted at a cost of around Rs 20 lakh. Unlike in the past, when yatras would invoke much fervour in the party, this one hasn't.
