Mumbai: Veteran BJP leader Ram Naik justified, among other things, his decision to come out with a report card on his performance in the first 3-months as UP Governor, saying that communication with people was necessary in the democracy.
Speaking to reporters at Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh, Naik sought to downplay the criticism he was facing from ruling Samajwadi Party over his pro-active style.
"I agree that earlier Governors never came out with report. I did that. You may give me credit, or criticise me. I am functioning within constitutional limits.”
He also defended his decision to invite RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to Raj Bhavan. "I have invited several political leaders.RSS leaders came to my house to have food. There was no meeting. Before taking oath as the Governor, I quit primary membership of BJP. There is no provision of resigning from RSS. One is a swayamsevak (volunteer) as long as he feels to be one. I consider myself a swyamsevak."
