I have decided to meet my friends here whenever I am in Vadodara. Samarjit is already a part of our circle but I just think it is important to renew ties since we do not speak regularly.” said Bhagwat
When asked about Vyapam scam, Mohan Bhagwat said, “It is a matter that is in the legal jurisdiction and will be decided accordingly. The Sangh has nothing to do with it nor is it in our realm of things.”
Mohan Bhagwat, who was accompanied by Sangh workers proceeded in a convoy from Vadodara to Rajpipla where he will now spend the night at the residence of an RSS leader Ravi Deshmukh. He had arrived in Vadodara by train earlier on Friday morning. (Inputs from Indian Express)
