Pioneer News Service | New Delhi
Ahead of the ratification of his re-election to the post, BJP chief Rajnath Singh has said the party's commitment to ideology is key to its credibility and there should not be any deviation from it for vote politics.
<b>"If we deviate from our ideology, it will put a question mark on our credibility,"</b> he told Sangh mouthpiece Organiser.
<b>In a clear message of unstinting support from the Sangh, which had fallen out with his predecessor LK Advani over his Jinnah remarks, the RSS organ described Singh as 'committed' and 'uncompromising' on principles.</b>
Notwithstanding the fact that the party has yet to ratify his re-election, it called Singh a 'grassroot politician with a refreshingly modern approach'.
In the interview, the BJP chief insisted that the party's credibility was his key concern. "My primary concern is that the BJP should not lose its credibility, rather it should reinforce it among the masses.
The credibility of the party will increase only when our commitment to our ideology, our political thought is maintained. There should not be any deviation or compromise for vote politics," Singh said.
