New Delhi: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS today termed the reports about its chief Mohan Bhagwat being unhappy over former Indian Police Service or IPS officer Kiran Bedi's entry into the BJP as "baseless' and said it was an "evil design" to project a rift between the Sangh and the government.

"News about Dr Bhagwatji disapproving Kiran Bedi's entry to BJP is baseless. It's an evil design to show a rift between RSS & Govt," RSS Prachar Pramukh Manmohan Vaidya said on Twitter.

There have been reports of Mr Bhagwat disapproving Ms Bedi's entry into the BJP and the party projecting her in a larger frame ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections.
   
Ms Bedi had joined the BJP on Thursday. The former IPS officer and Mr Kejriwal were members of Team Anna who had spearheaded a campaign during the previous the UPA regime on bringing Lokpal act.
   
Ms Bedi had also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of her joining the party and said she was "inspired" by him.
