The upcoming selection of the BJP chief has sparked intense discussions about potential candidates and revealed underlying tensions between the RSS and BJP. Despite J P Nadda's term as the current BJP chief expired, he continues to hold his position while also serving as a cabinet minister. This situation reportedly stems from a lack of coordination between the RSS and BJP leadership. The BJP's failure to reach its target of 400 parliamentary seats in the recent election has created an opening for the RSS to exert influence over candidate selection source says. While the BJP has put forward Dharmendra Pradhan as a potential candidate for the chief position, there has been no response from the RSS thus far. In an effort to rebuild trust with RSS leaders, the central government has recently reversed a decade-old order that restricted government officials from taking part in RSS activities source says.
