RSS doesn’t influence functioning of the govt, says Bhagwat
New Delhi: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh does not influence the functioning of the Union government, the organization’s sarsanghchalak or chief, Mohan Bhagwat, said on Tuesday. The statement by Bhagwat comes against the backdrop of the RSS, which is the ideological parent of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, facing criticism from various quarters of influencing the functioning of the government. There are many swayamsevaks, or workers, of the RSS who are in government, including the President of India and the Prime Minister but they are free to function independently and RSS members do not make calls to influence them, Bhagwat said on the second day of the three-day “Bharat of Future” event in New Delhi. The RSS chief said that the organization is vocal about issues that have an impact on the nation and members of the organization but its members were free to decide which party to support.
