CNN-IBN reports: The Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be hardening its stand on veteran leader L K Advani as attempts to pacify him fail. 

The party patriarch now looks completely isolated. BJP President Rajnath Singh is going to Banswara in Rajasthan at the time of such a crisis, sources say, to send out the message that it is business as usual in the BJP. 

Among other key leaders, Arun Jaitley is going abroad and Narendra Modi is staying in Gujarat.

Sources in the BJP say Narendra Modi's elevation is ratified by the National Executive and individuals can't change it. 

Sources have told CNN-IBN that Rajnath has spoken to the RSS chief and urged him to speak to Advani.
