Top BJP and RSS leaders on Thursday huddled together in a closed-door marathon meeting to discuss better coordination between the Sangh and the party in the run-up to the next general elections.
During the meeting, pressing issues confronting the nation, including the poor economic situation and concerns over internal security, were also understood to have been discussed.
BJP President Rajnath Singh said no political discussion, including the contentious issue of deciding the party's Prime Ministerial candidate for the next elections, took place at the meeting, amid speculation that the leaders discussed the formulation of a political strategy.
"During the meeting, important economic, social and national issues like that of security were discussed. No political issues were discussed," Singh told reporters after attending the meeting.
BJP's election campaign committee chief Narendra Modi, leaders of opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley, party's general secretary (organisation) Ram Lal and secretary V Satish were among the others who attended the meeting.
Among the RSS leaders who were at the meeting were its general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi, joint general secretary Suresh Soni, besides Dattatray Hosbole and Krishan Gopal.
