‘BJP’s Achhe Din Came From RSS, Not Other Way Around’: Mohan Bhagwat At 100-Year Celebrations
‘BJP’s Achhe Din Came From RSS, Not Other Way Around’: Mohan Bhagwat At 100-Year Celebrations
Mohan Bhagwat highlighted the RSS' role in the Ram temple movement and advocated for global Hindu unity. He also expressed his desire for Hindutva ideologue Veer Savarkar to be awarded the Bharat Ratna.
Marking the 100th anniversary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party;s political success stemmed from the RSS' ideological commitment and organisational work, and not the other way around. Speaking at a two-day lecture series titled ‘100 Years of Sangh Journey – New Horizons' in Mumbai, the RSS chief said the BJP's “achhe din” were a result of the RSS' long-standing efforts. He also discussed how the organisation's dedication to the Ram Temple movement aided in this.
When asked whether “achhe din” for the RSS came after the BJP came to power, Bhagwat said, “…achhe din did not come because of the BJP, actually it is the other way round…our achhe din came from our hard work.”
“We remained committed to the Ram temple movement, and those who supported it benefited,” he said, adding that it happened because of the hard work of volunteers and their unwavering commitment to its ideology.
Bhagwat also pitched for global Hindu unity and reiterated the demand to confer the Bharat Ratna on Hindutva ideologue Veer Savarkar. Clarifying that he was not part of the decision-making process, the RSS chief said he would raise the issue if given the opportunity.
“I am not on that committee, but if I meet someone who is, I will ask them. If Swatantra Veer Savarkar is given the Bharat Ratna, the prestige of the award will increase. Even without it, he has already become the emperor of millions of hearts,” Bhagwat said.
He also spoke about India's economic strategy, advocating a “production-by-masses” approach rather than mass production to boost competitiveness, enhance quality, and create employment opportunities.
“There is mass production, big companies, and our MNCs are also competing; Indian companies also need to compete, and they will. But our focus should be on production by the masses instead of mass production. If a type of production takes place in thousands of places, then it will become cheaper in our country. Then the competition won't be based on price, but on quality, and if we produce high-quality goods, the demand for our products will increase abroad as well. That's what should happen, and more people should get employment,” Bhagwat said.
Further, he called for a “job-creating” environment, welcoming modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), stating that we have to become “masters of it” and utilise it for our benefit, while ensuring it does not negatively impact employment.
He said, “Our population is very large. Therefore, whatever we do for progress, it should be job-creating, not job-destroying. So, new technologies are coming, like AI and others. What should we do to ensure that this doesn't result in job losses? Technology will definitely come, and to remain competitive, we will have to master it and utilise it. We cannot say that we won't let AI come. AI will come, and we will use it in such a way that our work continues without negatively impacting employment.”
