Is there a divide in the Sangh parivar?
August 11, 2014
NDTV reports: The BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has sent political circles buzzing with a comment that appears to contradict Prime Minister
Narendra Modi.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said yesterday that the BJP won the election
because the common man wanted change, a day after PM Modi credited his
party's victory to its new chief Amit Shah.
"The same individuals and the party existed earlier also. Why were not
they voted to power," he questioned, adding that if people are not
happy, they will change this government too.
"Some
people say the success was due to the party. Others say it was because
of some individuals. This change was not due to some individual, party
or organisation. The common man wanted change," Bhagwat said at an
event in Bhuvaneswar.
The Congress see this as a divide in the parivar. "Paradox schisms between the RSS/ BJP already manifesting? PM
attributes election results to one man while Mohan ji Bhagwat credits
people," Congress leader Manish Tewari tweeted this morning.
