LUCKNOW: With the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections round the corner, the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) begins its three-day annual general council meeting here on Friday. It is also likely to take stock of its political face, the Bharatiya Janata Party's election preparedness.

The BJP will be represented by its national president Rajnath Singh and senior State leaders including Kalyan Singh in the opening session to be chaired by "Sarkaryavah" Mohan Bhagwat.

Incidentally, the Ram temple issue does not figure in the agenda for the meeting. Member of the RSS National Executive Ram Madhav told newsmen that nevertheless the temple would be discussed in the meeting. He said the RSS will support the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal on the issue.He said the country's economic policies will endanger its security and were the prime cause for farmers' suicides.
