Khanduri, Singhal hold discussions with Bhagwat

New Delhi, Aug 29 (ANI): After criticising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership for removing him from the post of Uttarakhand chief minister, B. C. Khanduri on Saturday met Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat.

According to sources Khanduri is understood to have aired his grievances before Bhagwat.

Khanduri, who has been brooding since he was forced to resign after the party's poor show in the state in the 2009 polls, still claims to enjoy the support of most of BJP MLAs.

After the Shimla Chintan Baithak, Khanduri reportedly wrote a letter to party president Rajnath Singh in which he is understood to have criticised his removal.

Apart from Khanduri, the International Chairman of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Ashok Singhal also met Bhagwat at Keshav Kunj, the RSS headquarters in Delhi.

VHP sources described the Singhal -Bhagwat meeting as "routine."(ANI)
