RSS Salcete Chief Kiran Nayak told the media at a briefing called by Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Samiti (BBSM) that the RSS will not really bother which party comes to power in the event the BJP is defeated at the hustings. He warned that the RSS will not work towards the defeat of the BJP, but ensure that the ruling party’s tally of seats in the Legislative Assembly is reduced to 6-7.
Replying to a question whether the RSS will really oppose the BJP in the coming election when they share a common ideology, Kiran said, “The BJP is part of the RSS and shares a common ideology. But the BJP seems to have forgotten its ideology. If the BJP does not get its acts together and realise its mistake by discontinuing the grants to English-medium schools from the coming academic year, the RSS will oppose the BJP in the election.”
Meanwhile, showering praises on Panchayat Minister and BJP leader, Rajendra Arlekar, for his bold stand on the contentious MoI issue, the Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch (BBSM) has warned of intensifying its ongoing agitation if the BJP-led government does not take a cue from Arlekar and stop the grants.
BBSM core member, Uday Bhembre, further said that the organization will weigh various options at its disposal
