Advani's name was in circulation sometime back. It was reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said at a meeting that making him the President would be a guru dakshina. However after the Supreme Court ordered the restoration of conspiracy charges in the Babri Masjid case, the name is said to have fallen out of favour.
