Mohan Bhagwat, the Chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), delivered a significant address on Vijaydashami, during which he called upon the public to remain vigilant against "divisive forces" in the run-up to the assembly elections scheduled for November and the national polls in 2024. Bhagwat stressed the crucial importance of supporting candidates who demonstrate competence and a commitment to serving the nation.
In his annual speech, Bhagwat underlined the need for voters to be cautious and not fall prey to those seeking to create discord and rifts within society.

Drawing attention to India's increasing prominence on the world stage and its rapid progress across various sectors, Bhagwat specifically mentioned the accolades garnered by India for its exceptional hospitality during the G20 summit of world leaders in New Delhi. During this event, the world witnessed the rich tapestry of Indian culture, marked by its diversity, highlighting India's diplomatic acumen and goodwill on the global stage.

Singer Shankar Mahadevan, who graced the RSS's Vijaydashami event as the chief guest, commended the organization for its tireless efforts in safeguarding the vision of a unified India and preserving its diverse cultural heritage. The event also saw the presence of prominent political figures, including Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
In sum, Bhagwat's address not only stressed the importance of making informed electoral choices but also underscored India's rising global significance and its commitment to maintaining harmony and diversity within the nation.
