Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday made it clear that the RSS does not control all decisions of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Talking about the delay in the announcement of the new BJP president, he said that such things are completely wrong and unfounded. Bhagwat said, “I have been running the Sangh for many years and the BJP has been running the government. We only give advice, do not take decisions. If we were taking decisions then it does not take so much time. We do not decide, you take our time.”
Bhagwat also said that even though there may be differences in views between RSS and BJP, there will never be any discrimination in the mind. He informed that the Sangh coordinates both the central and state governments, but the right to the final decision is completely with the BJP. He made it clear that the organization does not interfere in governance or political appointments and is limited to suggestions only.
