Senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu today said the media should not read too much into party veteran L K Advani's absence from the office-bearers' meeting in Goa.
"Don't try to read too much into his absence for today," Naidu said while responding to questions by reporters.
Advani would arrive in Goa tomorrow and will stay here for two days to attend National Executive meeting, Naidu told mediapersons at the meeting venue here.
He said Advani could not make it today because of the health problems.
"Everything is normal. Whatever party is supposed to decide they will decide in the meeting," the BJP leader said.
When pointed out that several senior leaders including Uma Bharti and Varun Gandhi will not attend the meeting, Naidu said that some leaders have their pre-occupations because of which they might not participate in the meet.
"They must have informed party president about their absence," he said.
Naidu ruled out media reports that BJP parliamentary board will meet in Goa during next three days.
The office bearers' meeting of the party would be held today evening while the National Executive meeting will be held on June 8-9.
