BJP silent on RSS' suggestion

August 20, 2009 02:09 IST
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushma Swaraj declined to comment on the reported suggestion by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to groom young leaders for the saffron party.    

"The BJP has to decide about it. This is not a question of what we think they have to manage. This is a universal truth that young generation must replace, but when and where they have to decide," RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said in an interview.

"I would say whatever I have to at the Chintan Baithak," Sushma said when asked about the comments.

Contacted, RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav said he had nothing to say about the interview.   

"It is all in black and white. Kindly see it yourself," Madhav told rediff.com.
