Haridwar, Aug 31: Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday, Aug 31, said that BJP leaders LK Advani and Rajnath Singh will decide on their role within the party.

Talking to reporters here, Bhagwat said, "Rajnathji, Advaniji and others will decide on their role in the party. Everything will be fine in the BJP in future."

"There are people with moral standing like Advani and under their guidance, they will solve all problems. We have nothing to do with this," he added

While the BJP had said that Rajnath Singh will not get an extension as party president beyond his three-year term that ends in Dec 2009.

There were reports that Advani may step down as Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha but the timing for it has been left to him.

Bhagwat had a breakfast meeting with Advani on Sunday, Aug 30, and had discussions with other senior leaders.

They had earlier met on Saturday afternoon, Aug 29, for about two hours at the RSS headquarters Keshavkunj in Delhi to discuss various issues.
