DC Edit | PM’s visit to RSS HQ signal of an evolving relationship
A lot of water has flowed down the Ganga between the two visits of Narendra Modi to the RSS headquarters in Nagpur: one in 2013 when he was the chief minister of Gujarat and the other on Sunday as Prime Minister of India. Even Mr Modi chose not to rush to the office of the ‘volunteer organisation’ which has held the Hindutva forces together in these last 11 years during his time as Prime Minister. The RSS has proved that it can make electoral victory possible even in places considered impossible; the elections to the Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi Assemblies proved the point that the BJP needs the RSS network if it were to win elections. While the RSS plays a slow game, the BJP, a political party engaged in an electoral democracy, does not have the luxury; it needs to fight daily battles and earn quick results. The Prime Minister’s visit must be seen as a thanksgiving gesture for the showing in the last three Assembly elections, for a different result would have compromised his government’s position a lot, and also a reminder of the job to be completed in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
