Admitting that Modi is his and BJP's leader and Amit Shah the party's national president, Joshi said he believes in the organisation's unity and has no role, either direct or indirect, in putting up posters and hoardings which called for his return to the party fold.
"I appeal to all my friends and critics alike to desist from engaging in such disinformation. This damages the party. I believe in the strength of the organisation and have been and will always continue to work towards strengthening it," he said in a page-long letter.
"I am an active BJP member," claimed Joshi. He added that "Narendra Modi is my and BJP's leader. Amit Shah is the BJP's national president".
He further said that the Modi government has enhanced India's image across the world and, in the last one year, has taken steps which have seen it come up to the expectations of the public.

"It seems some people are making attempts to create confusion in the smooth functioning of this government. As part of this, posters have been put up in Delhi and other parts of the country regarding me. I have no direct or indirect link with this. Such posters have harmed the BJP's image in public and hurt it," he said.
The poster, which depicted a photograph of Joshi, sought his "ghar wapsi".
The posters, which had pictures of Modi, Shah and Joshi, took a dig at the BJP-led government's slogan of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas", and asked why Joshi was not being taken along.
