PATNA: Feb 4: On the second day of his ‘Prawas Yatra’ in Bihar, Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday held amarathon in-camera conclave of the Sangh’s “representative in charge” of around a dozen of its affiliated organizations in the state, including BJP, to have an update on their activities and discuss the future steps for spreading their reach.
About 120 of these representatives, who make the Sangh’s core state coordination committee, attended the conclave. Each of them presented updates on the activities of their respective organizations.
Incidentally, the activities and reach of the RSS has increased progressively in the state in the last 10 years. The state BJP has made around 25 lakh new members in Bihar
“As per the agenda, only discussions were held and no decisions were taken. In fact, no decision is taken during the ‘Prawas Yatra’ of our organisational head,” said a RSS source, implying that the future guidelines, if any, would be conveyed for action only later.
Bhagwat arrived here on Friday to discuss matters related to the activities of various organizations in South Bihar. He would stay in Patna for the next two days. The headquarters of North Bihar wing of the RSS is at Bhagalpur. By the Sangh’s convention, the RSS chief visits every state once a year for discussions with the organisational units of that particular state.
