BJP today said RSS has no role in government formation. Party leader Venkaiah Naidu also played down his and other leaders' meetings with RSS leaders, terming them as routine.

He said in New Delhi that RSS never interferes in matters of Cabinet or government formation. Naidu , further, said that this is the task of BJP, and its leadership is competent enough to take decisions after consultations among themselves.

RSS, on its part, also made it clear that it is not acting as remote control and will not interfere in the functioning of the new BJP ministry or the party.

RSS national spokesperson Ram Madhav said in Jaipur that Sangh has not given any guidelines to the BJP after its historic victory in Lok Sabha polls. He, however, said that if required Sangh may give suggestions.
