RSS camp to discuss key issues
Senior BJP leaders became part of a three-day RSS camp on Friday at Jamdoli on the outskirts of Jaipur where RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat was present along with other functionaries while Leader of the Opposition in the Rajasthan Assembly Vasundhara Raje participated in the BJP national council meeting at Surajkund in Haryana. The state BJP leaders had a meeting with the Sangh Parivar functionaries, described as “Samanvay (coordination meeting)”.
According to sources, Ms Raje was out of India for quite some time and she last visited Jaipur when NDA presidential nominee P.A. Sangma came here to campaign. “Her supporters want a free hand in Rajasthan before the Assembly elections due next year,” said a BJP leader.
Party president Arun Chaturvedi, deputy leader of the Opposition Ghanshyam Tiwari, former home minister Gulabchand Kataria and others were rushed to Jamdoli’s Keshva Vidyapeeth, where the crucial meeting was slated among Sangh Parivar affiliates to strengthen coordination.
“Representatives of around 50 RSS constituents like Seva Bharati, Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad, Vidya Bharati and BMS are participating in the meeting. It is expected that deputy Opposition leader Tiwari and party general secretary Satish Puniya will be present on behalf of the state unit,” the sources said.
“Several issues, ranging from organisation to desh kal (present scenario), will come under discussion. Issues like violence in Gopalgarh will also be discussed,” said the sources.
According to RSS sources, over 8,000 swayamsevaks are participating from more than a dozen districts in the three-day camp. “The Sangh has nothing to do with politics,” said a senior RSS functionary. BUT sources said the meeting will be crucial at a time when Gujarat is going to elect a new government and Madhya Pardesh and Rajasthan will face elections next year.
