Modi needs to review style of working: RSS
mouthpiece

New Delhi: In an
apparent disapproval by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's style of working, an
article in the organisation's mouthpiece has indicated that the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has several prime ministerial
candidates.
It also disapproved of Modi's reported insistence on resignation
of Sanjay Joshi from the BJP's national executive last week.
The article, which figures in the latest issue of Panchjanaya,
said it was being felt that Modi needed to do a rethink about
organisational capabilities.
"It seems Narendra Modi needs to review his style of working and
organisational ability," it said.
The article assumes significance because its author Devendra
Swaroop is a former editor of Panchjanaya and has access to views
of the RSS insiders.
"The role of Narendra Modi in the Sanjay Joshi episode at BJP's
national executive meeting in Mumbai is worth considering...why
despite having faith in the Sangh, Modi could not control his
unhappiness towards a fellow RSS functionary is a mystery. He made
Joshi's presence a prestige issue and allowed the media to attack
the BJP and the Sangh," the article said.
It also attacked Modi over media reports about Joshi changing his
travel plans and boarding a plane instead of going by train after
the Mumbai meeting as the train would have touched places in
Gujarat.
"It allowed opponents of the BJP to speak against Modi," it said.
Modi apparently insisted that he would attend the conclave only if
his bete noire Joshi resigned from the party's national executive
and the party bowed to his demand.
In a dig at Modi's prime ministerial ambitions, it said that the
BJP had several chief ministers and central leaders who were
capable of being its prime ministerial candidates. But it said
that the decision should be taken by the the parliamentary party
after the party won the Lok Sabha election.
The article in the RSS mouthpiece slamming Modi's action at the
BJP executive close to veteran BJP leader L.K. Advani launching an
attack on party president Nitin Gadkari, saying "the mood within
the party is not upbeat".
Advani said in his blog that people were angry with the
Congress-led government but they were upset with the BJP too.
