RSS put on mute by Modi?

RSS

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will have no role in the formation of the union cabinet, senior BJP leader M. Venkaiah Naidu said Sunday.

“Meeting the RSS leaders is part of our life. But it will have no role in the cabinet formation,” Naidu told media persons when he reached the RSS office here.

BJP leaders Sunday swarmed the RSS Delhi office.

Besides Naidu, Kalraj Mishra, Dharmendra Pradhan, Gopi Nath Munde, Harsh Vardhan and Rajiv Pratap Rudy were some of leaders who visited the RSS office here.

Leaders are frequenting the RSS office here since the May 12 exit polls announced a thumping majority for the BJP.

Modi do not have a very close relationship with the RSS leadership in Gujarat. He is a man of his own. RSS certainly has a problem with him. We have only seen other leaders making visits to the RSS headquarters.

There’s a certain fear in its top ranks that the BJP cadre owe more loyalty to Modi than to the RSS.
