Mohan Bhagwat calls BJP a divided house

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) continues to stoke the fire and keep the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on its toes. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat has once again attacked the party's current leadership, calling the BJP a divided house.

Speaking at a function in Pune, Bhagwat said that the BJP must not forget its roots.

Bhagwat said, “A divided house cannot function properly...they have to know their roots.”

Bhagwat has in the past criticised BJP leaders for their public spats.

Interestingly, the RSS continues to claim that the outfit would not interfere in the party's functioning.

Bhagwat had recently met the top BJP brass recently, including party President Rajnath Singh.

Singh spent about 30 minutes with Bhagwat and discussed several issues related to BJP and its future, sources said.

Rajnath Singh's tenure ends in December, and the RSS is reportedly insisting that his successor should be someone from outside Delhi.

The current favourite is party in-charge of Maharashtra Nitin Gadkari.
