Vaidya talks of Cong-BJP govt.
Nagpur/New Delhi (PTI): Senior RSS ideologue M G Vaidya has suggested Congress and BJP should come together to form a government at the Centre with mutual co-operation even as Congress dismissed the idea as "unrealistic" while BJP termed it as "exciting".
Vaidya in his weekly column in a local Marathi daily 'Tarun Bharat' on Sunday said he felt the need for a combination at the Centre.
Vaidya had floated the concept a few days back in the same column and drew both appreciation and criticism.
He wrote that his views on Congress-BJP coming together to share power in Delhi was endorsed recently by senior NCP leader and former Lok Sabha speaker P A Sangama.
Vaidya recalled his remarks in the wake of such an experiment followed in Germany where two major political parties have formed the government.
Besides, Congress and BJP, only the communists parties (CPI and CPI-M) have the same national perspective and vision while the other remaining political parties be it Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) have confined themselves to regionalism.
Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said "it's is not a realistic idea and it's not happening".
"The RSS propaganda has always been to confuse issues and to project.....something which is totally false as the truty."
BJP spokesman Ravi Shanker Prasad said the "idea is exciting but the point is: is Congress a political party or a family concern? That is a serious problem where of late the commitment the civilizational heritage of Congress has been overpowered by commitment of family and sycophancy. That is the barrier".
