Is Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) all set to work on battleground Maharashtra?
Reportedly after a successful campaign in the recent elections in haryana, Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) is all set to work on battleground Maharashtra. Importantly, Nagpur, which falls in Maharashtra, is also the headquarters of the ideological partner of the bharatiya janata party (BJP).Perhaps sources say that RSS workers held more than 16,000 small meetings on the ground in the state of haryana that actually brought about a change in fortunes for the saffron party in the polls. However, for a big state like Maharashtra, the numbers are only expected to go up. A source told “We can expect at least four times more such meetings in poll-bound Maharashtra. This is a state that the RSS knows as good as anybody else, and they do understand the importance of the BJP-led nda government coming to power, because it only boosts the ideology that they’ve been fighting for all along”.
Moreover sources said the RSS was not seen making such an aggressive push in the recent lok sabha polls. “Normally, the RSS workers do a door-to-door campaign, connect with locals one-on-one and ensure their participation in the process of voting, often, even encouraging voters to come out and cast their ballot, irrespective of whichever side they chose. This went missing in the lok sabha polls for obvious reasons, but the same strategy is now back,” another source added.
