Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders are not on talking terms with expelled leader Jaswant Singh after he refused to resign from the chairmanship of the Public Accounts Committee of the Parliament, Union minister Murli Deora claimed on Friday.

The Petroleum and Natural Gas minister, who is heading a high-level delegation to London, said senior BJP leaders, including L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj and Murali Manohar Joshi, are not on talking terms with their former colleague over the PAC chairmanship issue.

He said it was "shocking to see the BJP leaders fighting over a single seat".

"I don't want to criticise the BJP but it was shocking to see that Advani, Joshi, Swaraj and Singh are not talking to each other," he added.

"All the parties have problems. We also had problems when the Congress was divided, but not to this extent" Deora said.
