New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Saturday said it will emerge stronger from the present turmoil.
"We are confident the party will come out stronger from the present crisis. It is a temporary phase and there is nothing to worry," BJP vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told reporters.
The commotion in the main opposition party began with the expulsion of senior leader and former cabinet minister Jaswant Singh for praising Pakistan`s founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah in his book.
After that, senior MP Arun Shourie lashed out at the party leadership and dubbed the BJP a `kati patang` (adrift kite).
BJP leader Yaswant Singh has also spoken out against the decision to throw out Jaswant Singh.
The crisis in BJP has led the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the party`s ideological parent, to call for an end to infighting. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had also said that the BJP would "rise from the ashes".
