Washington: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as its “best representative,” saying that he is spreading the organisation’s ideas through governance in his own style.
According to Global Mirror, the remarks were made by RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale during an address in Washington, where he is on a tour engaging with academics and members of the Indian diaspora. “He is doing it in his own way,” Hosabale said, adding that while Modi does not always use the same language as the RSS, many of his initiatives reflect similar thinking.
“He may not express the same words. For example, he said ‘Ek Ped Maa ke Naam’. We have said plant a tree,” he said. He added that such differences were only in expression, not in intent, and described Modi as a “Swayamsevak” whose approach naturally aligns with the organisation’s philosophy. Hosabale said, “Many government programs reflect RSS thinking. So being a Swayamsevak, these things come naturally to the Prime Minister.” He pointed to initiatives like “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and the “Panch Pran” outlined by Modi in his Independence Day speech in 2022.
