Nitish's attack brings RSS and Modi closer - MSN India
Mumbai: The chasm between the RSS and the Janata Dal (United) over the issue of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is getting wider by the day.
On Wednesday, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat slammed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over his statement that the prime ministerial candidate in the 2014 parliamentary elections should be 'secular'.
Bhagwat, who was in Latur addressing a gathering of RSS volunteers, claimed that Nitish was playing vote-bank politics. "Nitish Kumar has said NDA's prime ministerial candidate for 2014 elections should be secular. What do you mean by a secular Prime Minister? Why not a Hindutvawadi Prime Minister?"
Bhagwat claimed that Nitish has made the statement for his own personal gain. "Leaders like Nitish Kumar should not make such statements for their own vote banks and personal gains," he said.
Coming down hard on Nitish Kumar, the RSS chief asked, "Will Nitish decide what sort of person makes a good Prime Minister?"
He added, "Hinduism is the religion of humanism. You are right and we are also right. Hinduism follows this broad philosophy."
