August 26th, 2009 - 10:31 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, Aug 26 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh said here Wednesday that “all is well with the party.”
Singh was here to offer condolences to the family of former BJP minister Sheema Rizvi, who passed away earlier this week.
Asked about the bickerings in the party, he said: “Just wait and watch; and let me assure you that we will emerge even stronger.”
When asked about BJP leader Arun Shourie calling him “Humpty-Dumpty”, Singh shot back, “So what? How does it matter to you?”
The BJP has been caught in a string of crisis that has seen the expulsion of former cabinet minister Jaswant Singh, a revolt in its Rajasthan unit, and strong criticism of the party leadership by Rajya Sabha member Arun Shourie.
