Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat are scheduled to meet in Gorakhpur today amidst political speculations and discussions. The meeting, described as a “courtesy meet”, holds significant importance following recent comments made by Bhagwat in Nagpur, criticizing political arrogance. This has led to conjectures about a possible strain in the RSS-BJP relationship.
Bhagwat’s emphasis on the importance of humility in serving the people has been interpreted by some as a subtle reproach to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), especially in light of their disappointing electoral performance post the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Indresh Kumar, another prominent RSS leader, also denounced the BJP’s arrogance, particularly in handling issues like the Ram Temple, although RSS has distanced itself from these remarks, shifting focus onto the shortcomings of the Congress-led INDIA bloc.
The BJP’s setback in Uttar Pradesh, where it secured significantly fewer seats than anticipated, has fueled discussions on the underlying factors contributing to their electoral decline. From farmer distress to economic woes like unemployment and inflation, various reasons are being analyzed to understand the party’s underwhelming performance in the state. Amidst these critical circumstances, the meeting between Adityanath and Bhagwat is expected to delve into crucial issues affecting the political landscape.
