The Modi Government 3.0 swearing-in ceremony took place Sunday evening, with ministerial portfolios allocated approximately 24 hours later. Amidst these developments, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has stated that the people have given their mandate, and everything will proceed accordingly, without the involvement of the Sangh. He remarked, 'Manipur has been on the path of peace for the past year. It must be a priority for us to consider.'
'Social Change Sows Seeds for System Change': The leader stated that democracy's essence is reflected in the global societal change prompting systematic alterations. 'This election cycle, too, we have undertaken our role in voter awareness. A true servant follows their duty within the bounds of decorum,' Bhagwat emphasized.
'Elections: A Process to Forge Consensus'
Bhagwat articulated that not getting attached to the process is the Sangh's philosophy. Elections are meant to build consensus, necessitating the display of arguments from all sides in the legislature. He disapproved of mud-slinging, misuse of technology and spreading falsehood during political campaigns, suggesting that 'opponent' should be replaced by 'opposition' and that post-election, the real issues facing the nation deserve contemplation.
'A Distinct Atmosphere Post-General Elections'
The Sangh leader noted the distinct post-election atmosphere, with a new government shaping up, stating that the Sangh is not concerned with why it happened but rather focuses on refining the public opinion in every election, without getting mired in result analysis.
He commented that while competition during elections is inevitable, it must be grounded in truth. Our tradition is to build consensus, which is why the parliament houses two sides for thorough discussion on any issue. India has made strides in numerous sectors including the economy, defense strategy, sports, culture, and technology, but this doesn't mean we've mastered all challenges.
