KOLKATA: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has lashed out at the BJP over its decision to open the party’s doors to the turncoats from the Trinamool Congress without studying their popularity among the voters of the state.

As anyone who has tried to invest in India can tell you, India’s states are as distinct from each other as European countries. Every now and then, India’s politicians are reminded of this as well. Prime Minister Narendra Modi certainly was earlier this week, when his all-conquering Bharatiya Janata Party fell short of expectations in state elections.
