Reacting sharply to BJP's decision of expelling him from the party, ex-BJP leader Jaswant Singh told a TV channel today that both BJP and Rashtirya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) have been touched by the poison of office, and that the change in the former is not for the better. Calling RSS pracharaks as suvidhavadi, Singh also said that RSS should introspect about their organisation.

Meanwhile, the ripples of fracas in BJP has been felt in Gujarat as Narendra Modi today banned Jaswant Singh's book on Jinnah even as it expressed its objection to negative references of Sardar Patel in the book.

Jaswant's book 'Jinnah - India, Partition, Independence' created a furore in the BJP and led to his expulsion from the party earlier today.
