New Delhi: Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the BJP's recent three-day meeting with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or the RSS was a "think tank" discussion rather than an appraisal of the government's performance.

"We have discussed all issues concerning the country -- be it the economy, education, culture, national security and social harmony. It was a think tank which discussed all issues," said Mr Singh.

The Home Minister slammed the Congress' allegation that RSS was running the government and said that, the Sangh "never gives directions but only suggestions". He said PM Modi, who participated on the third day of the meeting, and himself were RSS 'Swayamsevaks' (workers) and that nobody should have any problem with that.

During the three-day "coordination" meeting of the RSS and the BJP, the top leaders in the government, including senior ministers, came face-to-face with Chief Mohan Bhagwat and other RSS leaders.
