TIL Desk/National/Goa- A day ahead of crucial convention of RSS’ rebel faction in Goa, the ruling BJP here said it will not bear “any effect” on the happenings within the Sangh in the state. “There is nothing called as a faction in RSS. Swayamsevakas are never directly involved in political activity,” BJP Goa Chief Vinay Tendulkar told .
The political party planned to be floated by Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch (BBSM) (which is backed by RSS rebels) will have “no impact” as it would be yet another party like Goa Forward or other regional outfits, he said. Tendulkar said RSS volunteers have always remained with the BJP. “RSS and BJP workers are always together and they have worked together in past and will do in future too,” he said. A Sangh worker will never get involved in anti-BJP activity, he said.
The rift between rebel RSS leaders and local BJP seems to be widening as the former announced to hold a convention at Bambolim to decide its future course of action. Velingkar was “relieved” as Goa RSS chief on August 31 after BBSM hinted at its intent to float a political party to counter BJP in the 2017 Goa Assembly polls.
