Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit on Thursday said the BJP is a political wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS).

"In the last one and a half years, lots of journalists and editors were saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not come under the pressure of RSS. One thing is very clear, that there is no difference between the Prime Minister and RSS, and I don't know why experts were so stupid and naive to believe that there is a difference. BJP is nothing, but a political wing of the RSS," Dikshit told ANI here.

" It is unprecedented that a Cabinet should go to a non-governmental organisation. It's clear that BJP is nothing but part and parcel of RSS," he said.

The second day of the RSS-BJP coordination committee meeting began today at Madhyanchal Bhawan here.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Union Health Minister JP Nadda were among those present at the meeting.
