So has BJP come to its senses? There is no emphasis on coordination with the Sangh in the assembly elections without any reason

New Delhi : One of the reasons for BJP losing seats in the Lok Sabha elections was also considered to be its lack of coordination with the RSS. BJP’s overconfidence could be gauged from the fact that its national president JP Nadda said in an interview during the elections that now BJP does not need the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, it is capable on its own. But after the election results on June 4, this illusion of BJP also probably broke. Now BJP has geared up to not repeat this mistake in the upcoming elections. It is taking great care that no stone is left unturned in coordination with the Sangh. A glimpse of this is visible in Maharashtra, Haryana and Jharkhand where assembly elections are to be held this year. BJP is trying to increase coordination with the Sangh before the assembly elections to be held in three important states. For this, long meetings are being held between the leaders of both the organizations.

The meeting started on Monday evening and lasted till midnight.

During the Lok Sabha elections, Nadda had given the statement ‘BJP does not need the Sangh’

During the Lok Sabha elections, a statement by BJP national president JP Nadda became quite popular in which he/she said that now the party does not need the RSS to win. Nadda had said that earlier BJP needed the RSS but today it is capable on its own. Today the party is running itself. Then RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had described Nadda’s statement as his/her personal opinion. When the results of the Lok Sabha elections were declared on June 4, the BJP fell far behind the magic figure of majority. It suffered huge losses in states like UP and Maharashtra.
