New Delhi, Nov 7 (PTI) Setting aside reports that Leader of Opposition L K Advani might exit from politics on his birthday tomorrow, RSS has said the senior BJP leader would step down only after overseeing the taking over of a new party president early next year.

"The present BJP president completes his term in December. By the time the formalities for taking over by a new president are completed it would be January end. Once that is done, Advani will step down as was decided earlier," RSS leader Ram Madhav told PTI.

Earlier, there were reports that Advani might quit politics on his birthday.

The RSS leadership had asked Advani to choose his successor as well as ensure a smooth change of leadership after party president Rajnath Singh completes his term in December.
