Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 30 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the RSS Headquarters in Nagpur on Sunday. Sangh Member Seshadri Chari has dubbed the Prime Minister's visit a "very important and historic" one. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) member said that there is "no difference of opinion" between the RSS and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"People talk a lot about the relationship between RSS and BJP, before also they talked about it...there is no difference in opinion between the BJP and the RSS. The people who don't know anything about the Sangh and the BJP, these people say that there is a difference in opinion between the BJP and the RSS. The people who spread these false things say it for their political benefit," the RSS member told ANI on Saturday.
PM Modi first pays his respects to the founding father of the organisation, Keshav Baliram Hedgewar at Smruti Mandir at Nagpur. This will be the Prime Minister's first visit to the temple since he assumed charge as the head of the union government in 2014, the RSS member said.
"This will be the first time that he will be going there after becoming the PM, and this is a very important and historic visit. The second this that this is a celebration of 100 years of RSS, there will be a lot of programs on it. Sangh also has a lot of opinions on the issues of the country, and on those, PM will take those issues forward, he has been doing before too. The government's job is to make India a strong country, make it a Viksit Bharat," RSS' Chari said.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal hit out at the Congress party, while highlighting the PM's visit, saying that the Prime Minister was able to accomplish more in 10 years of governance than Congress could in 70 years.
"In 10 years, PM Modi has done what the Congress party could not do in 70 years. Congress is losing ground, so it has nothing to say," Khandelwal told ANI.
BJP's origins lie with the formation of Jana Sangh in 1951, started by former union minister Syama Prasad Mookerjee. The Jana Sangh merged with the Janata Party after the end of the Emergency in 1977, with the aim to defeat Congress. Later on, the question of 'dual membership' was raised between the RSS members and the Jana Sangh, with the ask that either the Jana Sangh members should leave the Janata Party or their membership of RSS. Regarding the issue, the Jana Sangh members left the Janata Party and officially founded the BJP on April 6, 1980.
PM Modi will be visiting four places during his visit, including Smruti Mandir of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Deekshaboomi, Madhav Netralaya, and Solar Industrial Explosives.
He will also lay the foundation stone of Madhav Netralaya Premium Centre at Nagpur and address a public meeting, according to a release issued by the Prime Minister's Office.
The PM will inaugurate the Loitering Munition Testing Range and Runway facility for UAVs at Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited in Nagpur. (ANI)
