Vajpayee agrees with RSS on younger leaders

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 (New Delhi):

Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, has for the first time, responded openly to the RSS chief K S Sudarshan's comment on the need for a younger generation to take over.

The RSS chief had earlier told NDTV that Vajpayee and Advani should step down and hand over the reins of the party to younger leaders.

Speaking at the BJP parliamentary board meeting, Vajpayee said that as of now he does not have any post, and it was up to the party to decide his role.

As far as Advani is concerned, a decision on the matter is left to the leader himself, he added.
