 Advani accepts the BJP Parliamentary decision on his resignation

The Veteran BJP leader Mr L K Advani has accepted the decision of Party's Parliamentary Board which had yesterday unanimously rejected his resignation from party's various posts. Briefing reporters after holding a meeting with Advani in company of other leaders in New Delhi, the party President Rajnath Singh said that he has assured Advani to address his concerns about the functioning of the party. Mr Singh said that Advani has accepted the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's advice to respect the party decision and continue to guide the party in the national interest. The RSS Chief had spoken to Advani in this regard.

At an urgent meeting, the Parliamentary Board of the Party had unanimously rejected Mr. Advani's resignation from Parliamentary Board, National Executive and the Election Committee. Mr Advani had resigned reportedly in protest against elevation of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as Campaign Committee Chief plunging the main opposition party into a crisis. In his resignation letter to the Party President, Advani rued that the BJP was no longer an idealistic party whose leaders are pursuing their personal agenda.
