RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat To Embark On 10-Day Visit To West Bengal In February

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat will visit West Bengal for a 10-day tour in February, marking the first time such a large group of top RSS functionaries will be in the state at the same time. The visit, from February 9 to February 16, is set to focus on organizational activities and political developments ahead of the state’s crucial assembly elections next year.

RSS Chief Accompanied By Delegation For Visit

Bhagwat will accompany eight other senior RSS leaders, including Dattatreya Hosabale, and the RSS Sarkaryawah (General Secretary). Sources suggest that the delegation’s presence in West Bengal underscores the importance of RSS in the state, especially in light of the upcoming elections and growing political dynamics.

During the first three days of the visit, Bhagwat and his team will hold a series of meetings focused on strengthening RSS activities in the southern districts of the state. These discussions will involve local Sangh functionaries and address issues relating to the RSS’s reach and influence in these regions.

RSS leaders’ Focus On Tribal Areas

On February 11, the RSS leaders will shift their attention to Burdwan, in the East Burdwan district. This part of the tour will concentrate on the central Bengal region, with Bhagwat expected to focus particularly on the RSS’s work in tribal-dominated areas. The meetings will seek to enhance the Sangh’s presence and address specific concerns in these communities.

The tour will culminate on February 16 with a public rally in Burdwan. Bhagwat’s address is expected to draw significant attention, as it will mark the end of the 10-day visit and likely serve as a call to action for RSS supporters in the state.

Political Significance of the Visit

While the RSS has officially described the visit as a routine organizational tour, political observers view it as a crucial move in the context of ongoing political developments in Bangladesh and their impact on West Bengal. With the state sharing a large border with Bangladesh, tensions related to the persecution of the Hindu minority in the neighbouring country have spilt over into West Bengal, influencing the state’s political landscape.

This visit, therefore, could have long-lasting implications, particularly with the state elections on the horizon.
