Bhagwat on 10-day visit to Bengal from Feb 7, to firm up RSS programmes
KOLKATA: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will begin his 10-day visit to West Bengal from February 7 to discuss expansion of the organisation with leaders at various levels. During the first five days in Kolkata, Bhagwat will hold meetings with RSS leaders and local influencers with a focus on strengthening the organisations framework and ensuring its operational success, leaders said. On February 11, Bhagwat will take a break before resuming his tour of south Bengal districts. Bhagwat will visit several districts, including Burdwan, where he is expected to hold his only public rally on February 16. He will also meet regional RSS leaders, local activists, and prominent figures from Burdwan and surrounding areas, an RSS leader said. These engagements are expected to focus on organisational growth, community outreach, and strengthening ties between RSS leadership and local stakeholders, he added. The visit takes place amid tensions between India and Bangladesh, with concern over the rise of radical elements in the neighbouring country. Although no direct reference has been made to the Bangladesh situation, Bhagwats visit occurs at a time when regional dynamics are under scrutiny. The RSSs role in addressing social and political issues in the state may come up in the discussions, although specific objectives regarding Bangladesh are not publicly stated, another RSS leader said. Bhagwat will also assess the performance of RSS in the state in both urban and rural areas. Political analysts say the RSS has been a key player in BJPs electoral strategies, and Bhagwats visit is to be seen in the context of the upcoming assembly elections.
