RSS brass rings alarm bells on flow of cadre for BJP work

The Hindu  

In the midst of seconding its pracharaks to the BJP and even despatching over 150 of its full-time members to Bihar in the run-up to the Assembly polls there, the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh is expressing its reservations about the effects of having a BJP government at the Centre on its organisation. On two separate occasions last month, the Sangh’s senior leadership has sounded the alarm bells. At a training camp for pracharaks seconded to the BJP, which was held a few weeks ago in Mumbai, the RSS second-in-command, Suresh ‘Bhaiyyaji’ Joshi, had some catechisms to impart. ‘Don’t be enamoured of trappings of power’ With the RSS having reservations about the effects of having a BJP government at the Centre on its organisation, its chief, Mohan Bhagwat, has warned them against being enamoured of the trappings of power.
