Ratlam (MP), November 11: Senior BJP leader L K Advani will not step down from the post of Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, his party colleague Sushma Swaraj said today and dubbed reports of mounting pressure on him to quit his post as a media creation.
“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 here.
“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.
