Jaswant rules out returning to BJP

Expelled Bharatiya Janata Party leader Jaswant Singh on Tuesday put to rest speculations that he might rejoin the party, saying "the roads are closed".

"You don't have to worry about it. The roads are closed," he said, when asked about the possibility of his getting back to the party.

BJP's deputy leader in Parliament Sushma Swaraj met Singh on Monday that had fuelled speculation that there could be a rapprochement between him and the party, although the meeting was said to have been for persuading Singh to quit as chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament.
