RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Says Misconceptions About Organisation Due To Misleading Campaigns

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said the organisation has no political agenda and cautioned against viewing it through the prism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling such an approach a “huge mistake".

Speaking at the ‘RSS 100 Vyakhyan Mala’ programme in Kolkata, Bhagwat said the Sangh should not be understood through comparisons or narrow frameworks, as this leads to misinterpretation of its role and objectives. He said the RSS is neither a conventional service organisation nor a political body.

“Many people try to understand the Sangh through the lens of the BJP, which is a huge mistake," Bhagwat said, adding that drawing parallels or making assumptions about the organisation often results in misunderstanding its nature.
