Advani, Rajnath will decide on their role : Bhagwat

New Delhi, Aug 31 (PTI) Fuelling speculation that top
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders L K Advani and Rajnath
Singh may have to give up their posts, Rashtriya Seva Sangh
(RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat Monday said they will decide on
their role in the party.

"Rajnathji (BJP president Rajnath Singh), Advaniji and
others will decide on their role (in the party)," he told
reporters in Haridwar, adding that "everything will be
fine in the BJP in future" and that under their guidance, all
problems will be solved.

While the BJP made it clear Sunday that Rajnath Singh
will not get an extension as party president when his
three-year term ends in December, there is speculation that
Advani may step down as Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha
(Lower House of Indian Parliament) before the winter session
of Parliament.

After Bhagwat's two meetings with Advani, former RSS
Chief K S Sudarshan met the BJP leader over breakfast and is
understood to have discussed the developments in the party and
the road ahead.

For the record, Rajnath Singh insisted that the RSS
has not shown any "path" to it and that the BJP will resolve
its problems on its own.

"RSS does not show any path (to the BJP). We are part
of the Sangh," he said in Ghaziabad on being asked on whether
the RSS was guiding the party to come out of the current mess.

The RSS had Sunday obtained a commitment from BJP's
warring leaders that they will stop infighting and put their
house in order. (More) PTI
