Joshi refuses comment on Fernades joining SP

Patna, Sep 25: Senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi today refused to comment on media reports that JD(U) leader George Fernandes is likely to join the Samajwadi party but termed the entire episode as unfortunate.

Mr Joshi told mediapersons Mr Fernandes' quitting of the JD(U) was hypothetical till date. However, he mentioned that it was totally an internal matter of the party and it would be improper for him to comment on any internal bickerings.

To a query, Mr Joshi said he had come to know about the matter through the media and Mr Fernandes had so far not contacted the BJP on the matter.

The party would decide its stand only after the National convenor of the NDA approached it.
