RSS exerts new pressure on Advani – can BJP survive with Advani?
RSS does not trust Advani any more. Advani’s defiance of RSS directive to step down has created severe tension between BJP and RSS. A flurry of meetings between BJP and RSS leaders over the last two days reflects a ‘‘deepening crisis’’ in the Parivar, with the RSS making it clear that L K Advani’s ‘‘defiance’’ will not be taken lying down, well-placed sources indicated today.
Can Advani survive within BJP? The bigger questions is can BJP survive with Advani as chief?
Experts say that Advani’s days are numbered because he has lost faith in the grass root of people in the Hidutva movement.
RSS has not accepted the BJP argument that Advani stay on till December or at least till the Bihar elections, sources said. The Sangh elders would like to see him go ‘‘as soon as possible’’, ideally before the BJP national executive that begins in Chennai on July 21, insiders said.
The RSS was in a state of shock after Advani refused to heed their signal—delivered by Sangh elders Mohan Bhagwat, Soni and Madan Dass Devi on July 11—and decided to stay on as BJP chief as well as Leader of Opposition. POLITICAL ARTICLES
