BJP's Gennext leaders Pramod Mahajan and Arun Jaitley have no problems being in the team to be announced by new party chief Rajnath Singh.

Mahajan and Jaitley are likely to figure prominently as general secretaries while Venkaiah Naidu and Kalyan Singh, who were vice-presidents under L.K. Advani, may prefer to opt out.

Mahajan has said he has no problems with Rajnath Singh, indicating that despite the flutter in the party following former prime minister A.B. Vajpayee's description of him as "Laxman", he is ready to play Rajnath Singh's deputy.
