Pioneer News Service | New Delhi
The RSS has joined former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in endorsing BJP chief Rajnath Singh's selection of the national executive and office-bearers.
The RSS' support to Singh will help him silence critics in the party for dropping Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi from the Parliamentary Board and reducing the stature of some other leaders.
"The new team is a carefully crafted exercise in political manoeuvre and accommodation," the RSS said in an editorial in the Sangh mouthpiece Organiser.
The flattering editorial added: "He (Singh) has cobbled together a young team of office-bearers, sticking to the principle of continuity with change.
"Since the BJP is fortunate to have a large array of talented and experienced leadership reserve, it is not an easy task for any leader to present a perfectly inclusive team in an organisationally exclusive structure. The beauty is that he has not disturbed the rhythm of the onward march."
