BJP veterans not sidelined: CM Chouhan

Update: 2014-08-28 23:33 GMT
Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today rejected suggestions that the Bharatiya Janata Party has sidelined its founder leaders Atal Bihari Vajpayee, LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi by dropping them from the Parliamentary Board and said they are ‘guides and philosophers’ for the party.

‘This question does not arise. They - party founders Atal Bihari Vajpayee, LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi - are guides and philosophers of ours,’ Chouhan, here to woo investors for the Global Investors Meet to be held in Madhya Pradesh in October, told reporters.

Marking a radical generational shift, BJP had yesterday dropped Vajpayee, Advani and Joshi from the BJP Parliamentary Board, the highest decision-making body headed by BJP president Amit Shah.
