Inspiration and Unity: Modi Praises RSS Chief's Visionary Vijayadashmi Address

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lauded RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's address during the annual Vijayadashmi event, calling it inspiring and a showcase of India's prowess to achieve new heights.

Speaking on social platform X, Modi extolled Bhagwat's significant contributions to nation-building and underscored the country's innate potential to bring global benefits. Before advancing to the BJP in the 1980s, Modi had served as an RSS pracharak.

At the event in Nagpur, Bhagwat emphasized Hindu society's unity and rejected divisive notions of 'us and them.' He advocated for swadeshi and self-reliance, noting the stances other nations held post-Pahalgam attack reflect their true alliance with India.

Celebrating its centenary, the RSS, inaugurated on Vijayadashmi 1925, has expanded to become India's most pervasive NGO. The BJP finds its ideological roots in this Hindutva organization.
