RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has disclosed that the new BJP chief will be someone from outside Delhi. "Yes, the new leadership will be someone other than these four (Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Venkaiah Naidu and Ananth Kumar). This is what I have been told. That is what has been agreed on and I believe the process has begun," he told 'India Today'.
'Dec 6 not shameful'
Bhagwat disagreed with senior BJP leader LK Advani's contention that demolition of Babri mosque was a national shame. "I don't agree with Advani on this issue," Bhagwat said, adding permission should have given to kar seva when so many of them had gathered at the site.
'Why should Modi apologise?'
The RSS chief appreciated the Narendra Modi government for "swiftly quelling violence" in Gujarat. On whether Modi should apologise for Gujarat riots, the RSS chief said, "He is the head of a state. He has full knowledge of what happened... If he thinks that something that needs an apology has taken place, then he will apologise. I have also been told the speed with which the riots in Gujarat were controlled is commendable. Why should he apologise if he has done no wrong?"--PTI
