Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi has refuted claims of a rift between the organisation and Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi, stating that such reports are merely a creation of the media and do not reflect reality.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Joshi dismissed speculation about growing differences between the RSS and PM Modi. “There is no difference; ‘duriyaan to sirf media banata hai’ (distances are only created by the media),” he stated, according to ANI.
