Alarmed by the increasing criticism of the party by other Sangh Parivar outfits, the BJP today said senior party leaders would speak to the RSS leadership at the earliest to resolve what it called 8216;8216;perceptional differences8217;8217;.

BJP chief Venkaiah Naidu told reporters after a two-day party conclave: 8216;8216;The time has come to address the issue at the earliest. We will speak to the RSS to understand each other8217;s problems without giving scope for ideological rivals to take advantage. These are perceptional differences.8217;8217;

Naidu8217;s comments are in response to VHP and Bajrang Dal8217;s repeated criticism of the BJP and their demand that the PM take a tougher stance on issues relating to terrorism and national security. VHP leaders had also raised a finger at the PM8217;s key advisor, Brajesh Mishra.

Meanwhile, commenting on Togadia8217;s 8216;dog8217; remark against Sonia Gandhi, Naidu said: 8216;8216;The BJP is not in agreement with such references purportedly made by Togadia according to media reports. No one should use such language. The BJP feels that opposition parties shoud be treated as political rivals and not enemies.8217;8217;
