Jalgaon ( Maharashtra ):Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Gopinath Munde has said it would have been better if he had remained as
the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activist than joining politics. Munde, who
was a RSS activist, entered Jan Sangh during Emergency days in 70’s. His reaction
came while speaking in a programme organized to pay homage to veteran RSS ideologue
Shripati Shastri , who passed away recently. Munde said it was Shastri who asked
him to join Jan Sangh during the Emergency days. "Perhaps I should have gone back
to RSS. I could have done many other things. But now it's too late. You can enter
BJP, there is no exit route," he added. Munde, who is also the brother-in-law
of slain BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, is presently deputy leader of opposition
in the Lok Sabha.
