Bengaluru : Ahead of five state elections, the agenda of a three-day meet of the BJP’s ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Karnataka, is a resolution on Hindus attacked in Bangladesh, a discussion on the fuel price hike and a strategy ahead of five state elections. The meeting in Dharwad from Thursday to Saturday is the first in-person gathering of the RSS leadership in two years. Last year, the RSS national executive was cancelled because of Covid.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and its number two leader Dattatreya Hosabale will be among more than 350 functionaries set to attend the national executive. BJP General Secretary BL Santhosh will also be a part of this meet.
RSS representatives stated that a resolution on Hindus under attack in Bangladesh is likely at the end of the meeting. This is significant as many functionaries of the RSS and even the ruling BJP have criticised the manner in which Hindu minority groups in Bangladesh came under attack during the Durga Puja festivities.
Fuel price hike, is also a topic on the list of agendas to be discussed. Sources say that the organisation feels the need to strike a balance between the government’s revenue generation and people’s interest. The RSS is likely to suggest to the government better communication and better solutions to check the unending price hike.
The RSS is also likely to discuss the BJP’s poll prospects and its assessment on the state elections next year.
Apart from the major issues listed, they will also have a discussion about other issues such as, a roadmap of programmes ahead of India’s 75th year of independence and an assessment of the RSS’s Covid-related relief work over the past two years.
The RSS will also decide on a build-up to the centenary celebrations of the organisation; the RSS completes hundred years in 2025.
