The personal assistants will be tasked with ensuring better coordination between party, govt
MUMBAI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), have taken a definitive step towards making sure that government policies and decisions reflect the party's ideology in Maharashtra. It has decided to appoint Personal Assistants (PAs) across government departments led by BJP ministers, to tighten its grip on policy and decision-making.
These PAs will be drawn from the RSS and its affiliate organisations. They will be tasked with ensuring "better coordination between the party and the government", a step that underscores the BJP's intent to align governance with its ideological vision.
