The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh activists will help in its campaign for the 2004 general elections.

Party general secretary Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said party chief M Venkaiah Naidu has constituted a five-member committee comprising Bal Apte, Shiv Raj Singh Chauhan, Dharmendra Pradhan, Om Prakash Dhankad and L Ganeshan to chalk out the details with the RSS.

The committee will submit its report at the central office-bearers meeting in Hyderabad on May 25, Naqvi said.  Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his deputy Lal Kishenchand Advani will attend the meetings at Jaipur and Hyderabad.
