Days after victory of Bharatiya Janata Party in Delhi Assembly polls, Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat will be in the national capital today. He is expected to interact with sangh cadres at the newly-unveiled Keshav Kunj headquarters.
Sources stated this will also be the first such meeting of Sangh chief with saffron cadres at the newly constructed headquarters, Keshav Kunj, in Delhi.
Covering 3.75 acres, it features three high-rise buildings, each spanning 12 floors plus a ground floor. These buildings, named Sadhna, Prerna, and Archana, collectively house approximately 300 rooms and offices.
Bhagwat’s meeting with the RSS cadres assumes significance as the ideological parent of BJP played a crucial role in securing power in the national capital for saffron front after almost three decades. The Sangh had also played a crucial role in securing BJP’s victories in the recent Haryana and Maharashtra Assembly polls.
The Sangh chief is likely to acknowledge the critical role played by RSS cadres and thank them for their contribution in securing a victory, sources said.
Their coordination with the BJP functionaries during the crucial period is also likely to receive praise.
The Sangh cadres had played a crucial role in implementing grassroots outreach campaign for the BJP in the Delhi polls.
As part of its outreach, the RSS cadres held about 60,000 meetings across the city where issues related to nationalism and public welfare measures of the Narendra Modi government were discussed.
The campaign by Sangh was launched soon after the Maharashtra election and the city was divided among eight zones, catering to 30 districts and 173 nagars.
Apart from RSS pracharaks, cadres of various associate organizations also took part in the outreach program in Delhi.
Last year, in Haryana, the BJP won 48 out of 90 seats for a third consecutive term, while in Maharashtra, the MahaYuti alliance — comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), and NCP (Ajit Pawar) — claimed 228 out of 288 seats.
The saffron win in these two states was attributed to the effective outreach by RSS narrative in favour of the party.
