Chennai: Refusing to be drawn into the debate on the successor of Narendra Modi, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said it was for the prime minister and BJP to deliberate and decide on the issue. Bhagwat made the remarks in response to a question at an event in Chennai on Tuesday.

Speaking at RSS 100 Years: Saga of RSS Envisioning The Way Forward, he said, “Certain questions are out of my purview. So, I don’t have any say in them. I can only wish well and nothing else. Who after Modi ji? That is for the BJP and Modi ji to decide,” Bhagwat said.

Bhagwat’s remarks assume significance as this is the second time in four months that he has expressed his unwillingness to comment on issues relating to the 'unwritten rule' in the BJP of retirement on turning 75 and who, after Modi.
