JOIN USPrime Minister Narendra Modi had lunch with State RSS functionaries and enquired about organisational issues, on the sidelines of the BJP national executive meeting in the City on Friday.
This is first time that Modi met State Sangh leaders after becoming prime minister. According to party sources, Modi was keen to visit “Keshava Krupa” in Chamarajpet, the RSSheadquarters in the State. But the plan was dropped for security reasons and to prevent public inconvenience.
The RSS delegation comprised K Prabhakar Bhat, Mukund, Jaidev, Chandrashekar Bhandary, Nagendra, M Venkataram, Thippe-swamy, among others.
According to sources privy to the meeting, Modi inquired about the activities of the Sangh in the State. Sources pointed out that Modi, after becoming prime minister, has made it a point to interact with local Sangh leaders whenever he makes an overnight stay at any particular destination. It is a sort of thanksgiving for the Parivar units for the coordinated role in supporting the BJP during the Lok Sabha polls, sources added.
