Mumbai: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has swung into action to help BJP win the Lok Sabha elections and thereby pave way for LK Advani’s berth at the prime minister’s post. RSS has launched series of meetings with BJP top brass in various states with a clear message that RSS will do whatever possible for the BJP’s victory.

The BJP would also grill the Congress on the issue of price rise of the essential commodities.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra BJP unit has told the RSS that its over two decade electoral ally, the Shiv Sena has humiliated the party on several occasions and it was not keen in continuing the tie up. BJP sources said that the party would try to forge alliance in the ensuing elections in the larger interest of NDA eventhough the party leaders and workers have been making strong demand for contesting...
