Nagpur: Senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari said today that the BJP central leadership is discussing with the party's veterans the issues raised by them about the party's unsatisfactory performance in Bihar polls and denied that he had suggested disciplinary action against them.

In a statement here, Gadkari said that party elders including L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi "are our highly respected leaders and neither I nor any other party functionary has ever shown any disrespect to them and there was absolutely no question of anyone suggesting calling for an explanation from them and not the least demanding disciplinary action against them."
