RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat engages in strategy session, plans village outreach programme

National RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat is on a three-day tour in Jalandhar, holding deliberations exclusively with RSS members. This session is perceived as a strategic meeting, addressing various issues with propagators from Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Haryana. With the approaching Lok Sabha elections, Bhagwat’s tour is seen as linked to electoral preparations. The emphasis is on gauging the political pulse of Punjab and neighboring states, as the BJP intensifies its nationwide contact campaign post recent state elections. Bhagwat is encouraging RSS affiliates to embark on village outreach, foreseeing a shift in BJP’s focus from urban to rural areas. In the discussions, a deep analysis of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections has been conducted, with Bhagwat highlighting the importance of guaranteeing support for Modi in these grassroots efforts. The final day of the meeting may witness Bhagwat’s visit to Dera Beas, but RSS propagators remain tight-lipped, citing security concerns and downplaying any political agenda. Some RSS propagators also stress that these meetings are apolitical.
