End factionalism, RSS tells BJP

The Hindu  

The Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh has asked the BJP to act tough on leaders who criticise Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP should work hard to ensure that this anger against the Congress turns into goodwill for the BJP,” Mr. Soni told party workers that included state president Laxmikant Bajpayi. On a two-day visit to Lucknow to assess the preparedness of the saffron party for the Lok Sabha polls, Mr. Soni told RSS office bearers that the people of the country have taken Mr. Modi to be their prime minister and they were now duty bound to support him and bring good governance back. Leaders attending the meeting told IANS that Mr. Soni was categorical in his support for Mr. Modi and said the BJP should not go soft on leaders and workers who openly criticise the Gujarat chief minister. In case, someone does not fall in line, he should be suspended from the party for six years, Mr. Soni told party leaders.
