BJP senior leader LK Advani, who was traveling from Delhi to Bangalore to take part in the election campaign in Karnataka, has landed in Hyderabad accidentally. The flight on which Mr Advani was aboard had run short of fuel after it reached Hyderabad. Therefore, the pilot made emergency landing in Begumpet airport of the city. The BJP leaders in the city reportedly met Advani at the airport. Advani is expected to leave for Bangalore tomorrow after a night's halt in the city, sources said.

It may be noted that assembly elections are round the corner in Karnataka. Already main leaders from different parties are taking part in election campaigns. As a part of the same, Advani too was supposed to arrive in Bangalore and address the party workers. BJP, which is the ruling part in Karnataka, is apparently trying its best to retain the power!
