BJP President Rajnath Singh, who is not averse to quitting his post, on Tuesdaysaid that change of responsibility was a natural process and he would work with seniors to reach a consensus on his successor.
"Change of responsibility is a natural process. My term is nearing an end and a new president has to take the responsibility," he told reporters here.
Indicating that his successor would be chosen by consensus, Singh said change of guard in BJP happens unanimously.
The outgoing BJP President said he would soon hold consultations with top party leaders on the issue.
"I hope this process will be completed very soon," Singh said.
"BJP will grow from strength to strength," he merely said when asked whether the party would readmit Uma Bharti and Kalyan Singh who have reportedly given hints of coming back to the party-fold.
The new president can be elected only when polls to 50 per cent of the state units are completed. As of now, this seems unlikely before December 31.
Sources close to Singh said in case the process runs into February or March, the BJP chief is unlikely to wait that long.
Singh was elected as party president on November 26, 2006 and may treat that as the deadline. PTI
