RSS calls Vaghela their swayamsevak

Gujarat Congress president Shankarsinh Vaghela may or may not relish it, but the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has described him the Hindutvanishth Senapati, asserting once a swayamsevak, always a swayamsevak.

RSS spokesman M.G. Vaidya said in a signed article in the latest edition of the Sangh mouthpiece Panchjanya that a swayamsevak was free to join whichever party he wished, provided he remained a patriot and that the oath a swyamsevak took held good his whole life.

Vaidya made this assertion to obviously clarify that the RSS had no problem with the former ‘leading light of the BJP’ Vaghela’s new political label.
