BJP's Nitin Gadkari says RSS anti-Congress

BJP President Nitin Gadkari, who has been blamed for leaving the RSS in the lurch when the Congress party launched its anti-'Hindu terror' and 'saffron terror' campaigns, has said the pracharaks were always soft on the Congress. Far from going on the backfoot about not defending the RSS' reputation from being besmirched, Gadkari prodded the RSS on the mistakes it was committing.

He was speaking on the occasion of the launch of a book that deals with the philosophy, history and organisational structure of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) besides information about the organisation's 'pracharak' system. The 264-page book 'Secrets of RSS: Demystifying the Sangh' is written by Mumbai-based Ratan Sharda, a teacher of international studies.

Releasing the book here, Gadkari initially extolled the RSS' functioning and said it was "often misunderstood as RSS does not approach the media on its own and rarely goes out of its way to explain its actions".
