Swaraj new BJP chief NEW DELHI: India's troubled main opposition party named a new leader on Friday, calling on a 57-year-old woman to replace her elderly predecessor in a bid to revive their fortunes after recent poll trouncings. Veteran Hindu nationalist leader Lal Krishna Advani, 82, appointed Sushma Swaraj to take over from him as parliamentary head of the Bharatiya Janata Party , party spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad told AFP. "She has been named the leader in parliament," Prasad said by telephone, announcing the start of a new era. Sum for Karadzic HAGUE: The president of the UN's Yugoslav war crimes tribunal has awarded Radovan Karadzic extra money to fund his defence against charges of masterminding Serb atrocities throughout the Bosnian war. Patrick Robinson says an earlier decision by the court's registrar to pay for 4,500 hours of work by the former Bosnian Serb leader's team of legal advisers failed to take into account the size of the case. Robinson wrote on Friday that Karadzic should be granted 7,500 hours of legal work - worth around $236,560. Karadzic's trial on 11 charges, including two of genocide, started in October, but he boycotted the hearings, saying he was not been given enough time to prepare. The trial is scheduled to resume on March 1.
