BJP president Rajnath Singh begins the meet. Says that the BJP Parliamentary Board has rejected LK Advani's resignation. "Rejecting Advani-ji's decision was an unanimous decision," says Rajnath Singh. He says Advani has accepted the Board's decision and has decided that whatever the party decides will be accepted by him. Which means Advani has accepted the party's decision to make Narendra Modi the poll campaign chief and will continue to be a member of the all the three posts he had resigned from the national executive, parliamentary board and the election committee.

"Advanji's concerns about the running of the party will be addressed by him personally and at an appropriate level," says Rajnath Singh.
