New Delhi: The infighting may be over. The reconciliation may have been achieved. The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday announced that party patriarch LK Advani, who resigned from all posts within the party on Monday, had agreed to abide by its decision and paid heed to the chief of its powerful ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
It was not clear, however, whether Advani had withdrawn his resignation. There was no announcement from the party to that effect.
BJP chief Rajnath Singh, reading out a statement outside Advani's residence after holding a brief meeting with him, said, "RSS Sarsanghchalak, Shri Mohan Bhagwat spoke to Shri Advani and asked him to respect the BJP Parliamentary Board decision and continue to guide the party in national interest. Shri Advani has decided to accept Shri Bhagwat's advice."
Below is the full statement of the BJP
