Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is not happy over the way the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) handled the Kirti Azad issue. The Darbhanga MP was suspended from BJP for targeting Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over alleged irregularities in Delhi's cricket body -DDCA.

Insiders say that RSS is of the view that a more earnest effort should have been made to solve the issue. RSS, the organisation which is BJP's ideological mentor, has reportedly not endorsed the move to suspend Azad as it believes it can turn out to be a political mistake.

The issue had nothing to do with the government and the haste with which it has been dealt will give political mileage to BJP's opponents like Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), sources inside RSS said.



Meanwhile, the cricketer-turned-politician has sought time from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the issue. Azad said he will present his case before PM Modi and ask how demanding an enquiry into a case of corruption is going against party's ideologies.

"I will ring up the Prime minister's office and seek and appointment soon to discuss the issue with the PM," Azad told reporters.
