Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda has said that the it has grown from the time his party needed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) any longer, adding that the BJP is capable of running itself.
The founders and presidents of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) were members of the RSS and BJS was formed with some core principles of RSS. The later presidents of BJS were also swayamsewaks of RSS. And BJP being a succession from the BJS, its core principles draw similarities with the RSS.
The RSS is an 바카라ideological front바카라 and does its own work, JP Nadda said in an interview with The Indian Express.
바카라Shuru mein hum saksham honge, thora kum honge, RSS ki zaroorat padti thi바카라 Aaj hum badh gaye hain, saksham hai바카라 toh BJP apne aap ko chalati hai ([n the beginning, we would have been less capable, smaller and needed the RSS. Today, we have grown and we are capable. The BJP runs itself]. That바카라s the difference," JP Nadda said in the interview when asked how the RSS presence has changed between the time of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and now.
Asked if the BJP no longer needs RSS support now, JP Nadda said, 바카라See, the party has grown and everyone has got their own duties and roles. RSS is a cultural and social organisation and we are a political organisation바카라"
"It바카라s not the question of need. It바카라s an ideological front. Woh ideologically apna kaam karte hain, hum apna [They ideologically do their work, we do ours]. We are managing our affairs in our own way. And that바카라s what political parties should do,바카라 JP Nadda added.
Nadda also said the BJP had no plans for temples at the disputed sites in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura and Kashi.
바카라The BJP does not have any such idea, plan or desire. There are no discussions either. Our system works in a way in which the party바카라s thought process is set by the discussions in the Parliamentary board, then it goes to the national council which endorses it,바카라 the Indian Express quoted him as saying.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is an Indian right-wing and Hindu nationalist organisation. As per RSS website, "Expressed in the simplest terms, the ideal of the Sangh is to carry the nation to the pinnacle of glory, through organising the entire society and ensuring protection of Hindu Dharma."
