“At present there is no such proposal,” Joshi said on Saturday. “First we would have to understand how he (Singh) plans to strengthen the party.”

Joshi parried a query on Bharatiya Janashakti Party president Uma Bharti’s proposal to join NDA. “This should be answered by the NDA convener Sharad Yadav,” he said.

The RSS is expected to take a final call on whether leaders who had walked out of the BJP should be re-inducted. A section of the BJP opposes this.

“(RSS) would in coordination with senior BJP leaders script the party’s revival,” Joshi said.
