Whatever way you interpret RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s statements, it has lessons for the BJP

Some people in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) maintain that the organisation chief Mohan Bhagwat’s speech last week, an annual ritual at the volunteers’ training camp, was misconstrued by the media with unwarranted stress on specific things. They say if it is understood that the BJP leadership was given a strong message after dropping the Lok Sabha numbers, Bhagwat’s criticism of the Opposition should also be taken into account. Bhagwat also asked why the RSS was dragged into the election campaign for no reason. Point taken. When the BJP of this era said it could operate independently (of the RSS), why did the opposition parties bring in the RSS? The future holds the answer to this question.
Last Monday, Bhagwat said the mantra to run the country was a consensus between the ruling side and the Opposition. He decried the polls that were fought by both sides like a war. While defining a true servant of society, he said a true sevak did not have arrogance and served the people by maintaining dignity. So much for the tongues to go wagging, and interpret their own ways. The most common interpretation was that Bhagwant wanted Narendra Modi to amend his ways while running the coalition government, and avoid making the mistakes that had cost the party heavily in the 2024 general elections.
