RSS is not remote controlling Govt, clarifies Sarsanghachalak
Special Correspondent
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday
hoped that Narendra Modi led NDA Government at the centre would work on the
footsteps of Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj. While welcoming changes in political
situation in the country, he urged common man to join hands in this change for
the progress of the country. The country cannot be developed by the politicians
only, but all 125 crore citizens should give wholehearted support to them. He
urged for complete eradication of casteism, corruption and untouchability from
society and polity.
Dr Bhagwat was addressing a gathering at sprawling Reshimbag ground on the
occasion of conclusion of third year Sangh Shiksha Varga. Sri Sri Ravishankar,
founder of Art of Living was present as chief guest. This was first speech of
RSS chief after Modi Government took over at Centre.
Comparing administration during Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj era with present
day situation, Dr. Bhagwat said that the people were happy in the rule of
Shivaji Maharaj and similar joy is visible on the face of common man. Shivaji
Maharaj had given self-esteem and established corruption free, exploitation
free, administration for the citizens. Dr. Bhagwat said that the rulers of
independent India had failed to give positive directions to the country.
RSS Chief said, people are happy due to recent change in political situation of
the country and after a deep though they brought this change.
The RSS chief denied any role of RSS in Government formation and clarified that
RSS is not working as Remote Control of new Government. The RSS has worked as
per the guidelines of Election Commission of India and urged people to enrol
themselves for voting and vote for right people and issues. He expected that
the policies of new Government would increase self-esteem and worked for pride
of constitution and maintain its dignity. The present Government has completed
only 10-15 days in the centre but initiated some positive steps. The people
would have to keep patience for changes in the policies and system, he advised.
The 125 crore people of the country should give their contribution for change
in the system. The Government should work to become world guru in every sector.
Nearly 716 RSS volunteers took part in the camp, which includes 144
Swayamsevaks from Central India comprising Malwa Prant. The highest
number of participants – 144 – was from Central India comprising Malwa, Madhya
Bharat, Mahakaushal and Chattisgarh. Among those attending are 460
professionals, including six doctors, 14 engineers, a chartered accountant and

five journalists, 49 agriculturists and 153 students. Nagpur Mahanagar
