MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) on Tuesday said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has moved away from its earlier "pure and honest" character, becoming complicit in the BJP's alleged corruption and unconstitutional acts.
It alleged that the "mother organisation" has either lost control over the BJP or is a silent beneficiary of its actions.
Referring to a dialogue organised on the occasion of the RSS centenary in Mumbai last week and the observations made by the RSS chief Dr Bhagwat, the Thackeray camp in the party's mouthpiece 'Saamana' editorial claimed that the BJP and the RSS are two sides of the same coin, and the Sangh is a "participant in all the sins" committed by the BJP as the ruling power.
