JUNE 11- The BJP on Tuesday has hit out at the Congress accusing it of having vested interests and blaming the RSS for the Advani issue.
BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said, “Some elements in the Congress have raised the RSS’s name in the Advani issue. The RSS has no role in the issue. We will sort out the BJP issues soon and will come out as a stronger party.”
BJP leaders Nitin Gadkari and Uma Bharti reached L.K. Advani’s residence in a bid to placate him. Uma Bharti had met Sushma Swaraj before heading to Advani’s residence.
BJP leader Jaswant Singh has also called on L.K. Advani a day after the party patriarch resigned from all positions in the party.
BJP president Rajnath Singh denied reports that the party is under pressure from the RSS over the crisis triggered by the resignation of senior leader L.K. Advani from all party positions.
Speaking to reporters here he said that news stories which suggested this were baseless.
“I want to make one thing clear that on some channels news has been telecast that RSS has said this or that. I want to make it absolutely clear that Sangh has not said anything.
“I have inquired from people in Sangh, whether they’ve made a statement. They told me that there has been no statement from their side, all this news is completely baseless,” he added.
