Key Points
BJP president JP Nadda has, in a media interview, said that the party has grown independent of the RSS now and doesnt need any hand-holding by the patriarch anymore...
Thats quite an explosive revelation by no less a person than the BJP president himself...
The RSS has, since its inception, emphasised on treating the saffron flag as the guru to prevent any individual from assuming an overwhelming position.. Sangathan mein hi shakti hai (the real power lies in the organisation), is the incontestable, and hence an inviolable,RSS creed...
There is an inherent irony in this basic RSS premise while the RSS doctrinally but slyly promotes the idea of benevolent dictatorship, it cant put up with any individual assuming that role within the larger Sangh Parivar organisation...
Add to this Modis BJP alluring several RSS cadres with plum positions and critical roles within the government as well as within the party organisation..
