Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial hopeful LK Advani on Sunday rubbished media repots that suggested the party leader was embroiled in a widening rift with party president Rajnath Singh, the denial came after the RSS reportedly intervened in the matter.
According to sources the RSS has made it clear that it wants Advani to have the final say in party affairs.
They add that media reports suggesting the rift threw the party into a serious brainstorming, before culminating in a well timed phone call from RSS General Secretary Mohan Bhagwat to Advani, who was touring Gujarat on Sunday.
After he spoke to Bhagwat, Advani clarified that there were no differences between him and Rajnath Singh.
"Let me tell you very frankly that there are no differences at all between us. Rajnath Singh is a great party worker and is working very hard to see BJP's victory in next parliamentary elections," Advani said in Gandhi Nagar.
Sources said that Advani also called up Singh and held a detailed discussion with him on the matter.
"A day after RSS advice of proper dialogue and coordination among the top brass, the report seemed very ironic and it urgently needed to be clarified," an RSS leader was quoted as saying by PTI.
On Friday the RSS and top BJP functionaries had met at Advani's residence for a brain-storming session to chalk out strategy for the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
