Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Friday hit out at the RSS, saying it should merge with the BJP and enter in active politics openly rather than supporting the saffron party inconspicuously and misleading people in the name of Hindutva.
"I would like to say it to RSS people that it should come openly in politics rather than misleading people in the name of Hindutva, being a cultural organisation and supporting BJP inconspicuously,"Gehlot told reporters here.
The Congress leader said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh should merge with the BJP and announce themselves a political party as doing politics "behind the curtain" is not good for the country
