"Advaniji would not step down from the post of Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and there were no talks in the party in this regard," Swaraj told reporters in Ratlam.
"It was a media creation," she said, after being asked when she will be elevated as Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and if there was pressure on Advani to quit his post.
On the political crisis in her party in Karnataka, the Deputy Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said that it had withered as BJP has an inner mechanism to sort out such issues.
To a query, Swaraj said the BJP had taken the right decision at the right time to expel Jaswant Singh from the party, as he had held Sardar Patel responsible for the partition.
"Every BJP worker holds Sardar Patel in high esteem for his contribution to the unification of India," she said.
Describing the recent unruly behaviour of Maharashtra Navniram Sena (MNS) in the state Assembly as "shameful and unfortunate", she said their act of insulting the national language was unpardonable.

When RSS chief himself categorically reiterated that Mr.Advani's term as the Opposition Leader comes to an end towards end of Jan, 2010, then why Ms.Sushma is misleading the Nation with a wrong information.Of late,It has become customary for the party to issue conflicting messages on an issue.Is it an indication that the party apparatus has been completely buckled under factionalism a prelude to impending disintegration.
Advani is the right man to lead the opposition along with the BJP into their graves.
Now to talk discuss endorse or contradict about Advaani ji`s stepping down from active politics is irrelevant. I respect Advaani ji, as he is man of his stature and charisma even at the age of 83 years. To me he is the only leader of national identity at all to count in the BJP. All others are with only regional identity like %u201Capne biraadari me uastad pados me anjaan%u201D. So there is no need to make statements on and off to keep him alive in active politics. The debate on his voluntary retirement had come only at the colossal defeat of the party in the last general elections. He would have set an example like any European leader who takes the responsibility for the defeat and quits the post paving way for other to take the reins of the party. He need not resign now as he is only charismatic person in the party if at all to keep the party in tact.
Those who think that Advaniji is just for the sake of "Kursi" have forgotten, that Advaniji made Vajpayee the PM even against the wishes of sangh in 1996 & 1998. If Sonia Gandhi is a saint in giving up the PM post, Advaniji is a bigger saint compared to her, becuase he didnt have any foreign origin issue, still didn't long for the post of PM when he had a chance.This speaks volumes about his integrity.
Ignoramous Truth Seeker, keep seeking truth. Advani also has foreign origin. He was born in Pak and Pakis do more harm to India than any other foreigners. Advani has excelled in that being a Paki. He has done more harm than any one else after Jinnah.
Good joke. Vajpayeee became PM as BJP had no majority and no sane member of JD and all would support a hypocrite and criminal Advani. U r a joker or a big fooooool
So real truth seaker according to your logic if advaniji is a foreigner,then what about Manmohan Singhji even he is born in same pakistan.So even he is doing harm right?So even he is a paki,if i have to talk in your language.So is great freedom fighter Bhagat Singh even he is born in Faisalabad(liyallpur).Please dont say half truths.
Get your facts right before you talk about integrity...perhaps you are referring to Vajpayee being a hundred times better than the LOW Purush. Do not compare ....even with Congress party functionaries.
Half learned Revanth, why will MMS's foreign status change Advani's status. If other Pakis have done harm to India, Advani has excelled in that. Half-learnd Revanth, Jinnah also was a freedom fighter, not only Bhagat Singh. You r the one who started the foreign issue in this column, not me. Ask your old man to get out with out playing with Sushma.
This man wanted to be the PM of India even at the cost of dividing the country. Let him at least sit on the Opposition (to PM) chair and die in peace. Or esle, his spirit might wander and create problems! By the way, what is Sushma's connection with him and Rajnath. Why she is more important than Jaswant or Arun SHourie to Advani adn Rajnath? Something is fishy!
I like Sushmaji and Advani. They set Indian politics with life. Thanks for ratification of my 8-10-09 comments in IE when Naidu talked about Advani's retirement. I wrote: "What we are witnessing is the true urge to have the first breaking-news headline. As the period after 2004 has demonstrated Advani has strong attachment and hypocrisy in behaviour to posts and issues..Not easy to be comprehended by politicians like Naidu..Lest we forget, Mr Advani meets seers for political advice. He neither listens to his conscience which is related to God nor seeks God's grace. All these loose statements about his quitting posts are not needed. BJP shall amend its constitution and make him the leader of Parliamentary Party. Even now Advani is fit to traverse the country. Advani is useful as he is also meeting all BJP (RSS's political outfit) pracharaks parallely thru his yatras. Mr Advani's advice will be needed by the BJP. As he is Self-disciplined and Strong willed, he will live long."How true.
Mr Nitin Mathur, i admire your courage and persistent efforts to point out truth. The prblem is that many have already got thoroughly brain washed by the clever misinformation campaign lodged by Congress and they have closed their minds. Seems that Sonia has put such a spell on their weak minds that even obvious things get ignored. But I am sure this is a passing phase and people will see through this wicked gameplan
advaniji must lead bjp till he dies bcos there is no young leaders in bjp. As far as sushma's case is concerned, she had been defeated by Sonia in LS election in 2004 so she cannot dare to stay against Sonia t/f, sushma is keeping advani in front. advani's winning lead from Gandhinagar(Guj) reduced to 27000 from 70000. So modi also fears to contest LS election from Gandhinagar. modi knows that LS elections are different than assembly elections in Guj.
kursi, love you til I die.
After watching affairs of the party in Karnataka, does it matter who is the leader of BJP anywhere, be it in Lok Sabha or so called High command.All of them have become puppets in the hand of moneybags of Mine Mafia who have become rich by looting natural assets belonging to people of India with active connivance of all political parties. The Karnataka affair has shown how spineless BJP leadership has become and they expect us to believe that everything is hunky dory in BJP. Bhagvan save this country
In the previous election it was daughter Pratibha Advani and SOn who dominated all the party/election affairs. Despite a severe drub this guy finds ways to hang on to power. Really disgusting.Make way for the new Gen. Sr citizen.
You dont have guts to ask Italian Sonia Maino to make way for other leaders apart from Nehru Gandhi family & you fool are questioning a patriotic leader.
Why do you have to get chirpy...it is a fact about the Low Purush. By the way I now recollect you are the individual who ridiculed the late Andhra Pradesh CM at the time of his death. You are cheap shit....
By using dirty language you are proving to be one shit.
I have seen the comment of Sushama Swaraj on the continuation of Advaniji as the leader of the opposition. She has said in Madhya Pradesh that there is no change to Advani and that he will stay as the leader. But she should not forget that it is none other than the leaders of the BJP and the sangh parivar that made the leadership change an issue. Sarsanghachalak, Dr. Mohanji Bhagavat made it claer more than once that he expect Advani to retire as agreed upon ....he hasn't mentioned ay date..that is all. Evena a person like Ram Madhav, who may not have even born when Advani started his career, has recently told the media that there is going to be a change in the leadership of the BJP's parliamentary party leadership and Advani is going to step down.. See these people are really treating a leader like Advani in such a manner..It is really pathetic. It is better for Advani to retire than going on like this. Now in the sangh parivar any one can do anything and anyone can say anything...
The recent election results have reiterated people belief in BSP. It is now clear that she has the support of the masses and she should be projected by the Opposition as the future PM of India. I request all my muslim brothers, to support her in her ventures in UP and vote her to become the PM of India, in the next election.
These comments are not mine, but given by another person.Regards,DR.PETROL PUMP CHOR
Chor, instead of posting inane comments, you should stick to being a PP chor. You call yourself a doctor. I suppose you have given yourself that title because you doctor accounts in some shady concern.
IF MAYAWATI IS SUCH A NATIONAL LEADER, WHY DID SHE NOT WIN SEATS IN RECENT VIDHAN SABHA POLLS IN VARIOUS STATES? IF SHE WAS SUCH A POPULAR PERSON, FIROZABAD SEAT WOULD NOT HAVE GONE TO CONGRESS. UP IS A WELL, AND FOR HER THE WELL IS THE WORLD.
Hello Dr PP Chor, UP is not India. Mayavati is a State leader and not a national leader. The UPians dont want her at national level otherwise her choice Baghle would have won the Firozabad Lok Sabha election on Nov 10, instead of Raj Babbar.
In previous elections people did not give any power to BJP, but their liar leader Advani sits on the throne as leader of the opposition.This man has no shame and if given the chance, he will sell our Hindu religion @the rate of Coffingate or Katara Bazar where they sell stolen good from Tehlka. Also if given the chance, he will turn India into Somalia.
If advaniji quits that will be a great loss to BJP as a leader next to Mr. A.B.Bajpayee who nurtured BJP all alongwith Bajpayee Ji. Not desirable to eradicate all the Sr.Citizen-Members of BJP at least a few man of letters should be there whose experience will lead the youth.
QUESTION IS WHERE IS BJP? THE PARTY HAS BEEN ALREADY DOOMED. THE PARTY IS AT THE WORST LEVEL THAN CONGRESS, WHEN SONIA TOOK OVER. SONIA IS A STRONG SELFLESS AND HONEST LEADER WHO IS DEDICATED TO FOLLOW HER HUSBAND'S PATH TO DO THINGS FOR POOR, AND THIS IS HOW SHE HAS ROOTED GONGRESS DEEP INTO THEIR HEARTS. THE RESIDUAL BJP HAS NO LEADERS. MODI HAS BLACK HISTORY AND HAS HIS LIMITATIONS, AND ON THE BASIS OF HINDUTAVA HOW FAR CAN YOU GO?, AND NOW THEY HAVE TO FIGHT A STRONG PROGRESSIVE PARTY CONGRESS, THAT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT.
