Yashwant Sinha's letter: Rajnath meets Advani

June 13, 2009 18:09 IST
Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh on Saturday discussed with leader of oppsoition LK Advani over the fall out of resignation of senior party leader Yashwant Sinha from all party posts.

The party's national executive meeting to be held in Delhi by end of this month is likely to be postponed.

Most interestingly, Leader of Oppsition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley on Saturday left for London with his family for ten days. This means he might not attend the national executive.

Many senior party leaders give different interpretation over Jaitley's visit to London. But family sources say that the tickets and hotel rooms were booked in May itself before Lok Sabha results were out.

Rajnath Singh is now facing huge embarrassment from many party leaders, with a speculation that on Sunday there shall be yet another senior leader to quit the party.
