PM Modi Nagpur Visit Live: RSS volunteers working selflessly in parts of country, says PM Modi in Nagpur

PM Modi Nagpur Visit Live: Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Hedgewar Smruti Mandir in Nagpur and paid tribute at the memorials of RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar and second Sarsanghchalak Golwalkar.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat was present during Modi's visit to the Smruti Mandir in Reshimbagh, the administrative headquarters of the RSS. Modi's visit coincides with the Sangh's Pratipada programme, which marks Gudi Padwa, the beginning of the Hindu New Year.

This marks the first time a sitting Prime Minister will visit the Sangh headquarters, where he will also lay the foundation stone for the extension of a hospital.

The meeting takes place amid speculation about tensions between the Sangh and the BJP leadership. Political observers see the interaction as significant due to its timing, venue, and purpose.

It comes as the BJP prepares to elect a new national president, expected by early April, with the party’s national council meeting scheduled in Bengaluru on April 18 to endorse the new leadership. Given the RSS’s influence in selecting the BJP chief, the meeting in Nagpur—where the Sangh is headquartered and where the event honors Madhavrao Sadashivrao Golwalkar, revered as 'Guruji' by RSS swayamsevaks—adds to its importance.
