RSS chief urges voters not to be swayed by divisive issues

While delivering Vijayadashami speech, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat urged the voters of the country not to be swayed by divisive issues and cautioned against getting caught up in baseless controversies that can fragment society. He also criticised cultural Marxists for fueling bitterness and hatred in society, particularly in the context of the Israel issue, which is being exploited by certain political parties and segments of society to shape a specific narrative.

During the ongoing election campaigns in five states and in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, Bhagwat advised the RSS members gathered in Nagpur to carefully choose leaders who will serve their best interests. He also mentioned the Ram temple, a significant RSS agenda, and expressed that the temple would open in January, symbolising progress for the country.

He also addressed the Manipur crisis, stating that the unity of the Meitei and Kuki communities in the state was disrupted by external forces, resulting in division and harm to society. He stressed the need to be vigilant against such external powers influencing events within the country.

Bhagwat expressed that this is a favourable period for India, as it holds the presidency of the G20, and the world is watching. He stressed the importance of unity and urged the nation not to lose focus or become divided.
