Hold back on PM choice: RSS to BJP - Hindustan Times
“Several BJP leaders carry the prime ministerial ambition. The candidate should be picked up only after the 2014 results,” the article by former editor and Sangh ideologue Devinder Swarup said.
The article said the Sangh is unhappy with Modi for “ignoring senior BJP leaders”. It also criticised him for insisting on the removal of his rival, Sanjay Joshi, from the party national executive.
Advani had attacked BJP president Nitin Gadkari in his blog on Thursday, questioning decisions taken by him in the past six months.
Davies guides Surrey through the rain - espncricinfo.com
Surrey 173 for 9 beat Glamorgan 107 for 9 (Kartik 4-27) by 57 runs D/L
Scorecard
Group B leaders Surrey continued their unbeaten start to the CB40 campaign with a convincing victory over Glamorgan in Cardiff. Half-centuries from Steve Davies and Zander de Bruyn helped Surrey to 173 for 9 from their 40 overs and then spinner Murali Kartik helped restrict Glamorgan to 107 for 9 before rain ended proceedings 14 overs from the end, with figures of 4 for 26.
Surrey, who won by 57 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis method, have now been successful in all four of their matches while Glamorgan are still looking for a win in any competition.
Put into bat Surrey raced to 40 for 0 before captain Rory Hamilton-Jones edged John Glover to debutant Martin van Jaarsveld at slip. Jason Roy had brought up the Surrey 50 with a straight six but then edged Simon Jones to slip. It left Surrey 61 for 2 in the eighth over.
Davies, who reached a 32-ball 50, miscued a drive to mid-on and only six more runs were added before Tom Maynard went leg before to Allenby. It left Surrey 96 for 4 in the 18th over. Although de Bruyn looked solid the Surrey wickets kept falling. Allenby had Matthew Spriegel caught behind and Gareth Batty was bowled by Glover, while Cosker trapped Jon Lewis lbw with his final ball.
Kartik went to a fine running catch in the deep by Allenby off Will Owen as Surrey slipped to 166 for 8 before losing de Bruyn from the final ball. He went for 52 from 79 balls.
In reply Stewart Walters edged a good ball behind from Jade Dernbach at the end of the third over before van Jaarsveld was trapped lbw by Jon Lewis. It left Glamorgan 30 for 2 in the eighth over.
De Bruyn had to go off with an injured hand with Spriegel having to finish the over, but it worked in Surrey's favour as the stand-in bowler bowled Marcus North. It was the first of two wickets in the space of three balls as Kartik struck with his second delivery to trap Gareth Rees in front. Glamorgan slumped to 41 for 4. That became 49 for 5 as Mark Wallace was bowled by Kartik and Chris Cooke was run out.
With Glamorgan reduced to 81 for 6 all hope was lost when top-scorer Allenby was stumped giving Kartik the charge before Stuart Meaker bowled Cosker and Will Owen became Kartik's second stumping victim. But rain forced the players off the pitch with 14 overs remaining and Surrey celebrated.

New Delhi, June 2 (IANS) In an apparent disapproval by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s style of working, an article in the organisation’s mouthpiece has indicated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has several prime ministerial candidates.
It also disapproved of Modi’s reported insistence on resignation of Sanjay Joshi from the BJP’s national executive last week.
The article, which figures in the latest issue of Panchjanaya, said it was being felt that Modi needed to do a rethink about organisational capabilities.
“It seems Narendra Modi needs to review his style of working and organisational ability,” it said.
The article assumes significance because its author Devendra Swaroop is a former editor of Panchjanaya and has access to views of the RSS insiders.
“The role of Narendra Modi in the Sanjay Joshi episode at BJP’s national executive meeting in Mumbai is worth considering…why despite having faith in the Sangh, Modi could not control his unhappiness towards a fellow RSS functionary is a mystery. He made Joshi’s presence a prestige issue and allowed the media to attack the BJP and the Sangh,” the article said.
It also attacked Modi over media reports about Joshi changing his travel plans and boarding a plane instead of going by train after the Mumbai meeting as the train would have touched places in Gujarat.
“It allowed opponents of the BJP to speak against Modi,” it said.
Modi apparently insisted that he would attend the conclave only if his bete noire Joshi resigned from the party’s national executive and the party bowed to his demand.
In a dig at Modi’s prime ministerial ambitions, it said that the BJP had several chief ministers and central leaders who were capable of being its prime ministerial candidates. But it said that the decision should be taken by the the parliamentary party after the party won the Lok Sabha election.
The article in the RSS mouthpiece slamming Modi’s action at the BJP executive close to veteran BJP leader L.K. Advani launching an attack on party president Nitin Gadkari, saying “the mood within the party is not upbeat”.
Advani said in his blog that people were angry with the Congress-led government but they were upset with the BJP too.
RSS hits out at BJP for growing infighting - zeenews.india.com

New Delhi: Upset with the growing infighting in the BJP, RSS mouthpiece Panchajanya hit out at the saffron party.
“Several leaders in BJP carry Prime Ministerial ambitions. Several Chief Ministers as well as national leaders are capable of becoming the Prime Minister”, an article in the latest issue of Panchajanya said.
The sangh fountainhead is not in favour of projecting Prime Ministerial candidate for now. “The Prime Ministerial candidate should be picked up only after the 2014 general elections”, it said.
The RSS mouthpiece also criticised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his style of functioning.
“Narendra Modi is ignoring senior BJP leaders”, it said. “Modi needs to do a rethink about his style of functioning and organisational capabilities”, it added.
Hours before the BJP national executive meet started in Mumbai, Modi’s bete noire Sanjay Joshi was asked to resign from the national executive. The BJP had to bow to Modi’s demand as he insisted that he would attend the conclave only if Joshi resigned from BJP national executive.
"The role of Narendra Modi in the Sanjay Joshi episode at BJP's national executive meeting in Mumbai is worth pondering over," the editorial stated.
The article has further pointed out that it is a mystery why Modi, a staunch believer of the Sangh ideology, could not deal with his anger towards his fellow RSS worker Joshi.
Veteran BJP leader LK Advani had earlier made an indirect attack on party president Nitin Gadkari for taking “faulty decisions”.
Expressing concerns over his party’s declining credibility, the BJP stalwart wrote in his popular blog that the saffron leadership has failed to sense the pulse of the public on various occasions and several wrong decisions taken by the apex leadership has further worsened the situation.
After Advani’s open criticism, BJP mouthpiece Kamal Sandesh has described Modi as a 'man in a hurry' and blamed him for “damaging” the party’s fabric.
“When we applaud a person more than required then we in fact ourselves open the door of his possible distraction. Similarly if one is criticized in extremity, we open the door for his possible exit," it added.
