A day after his party performed exceptionally well in the Assembly elections in three northeastern States, the BJP national president Amit Shah on Sunday visited the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters here to meet senior RSS leaders, including the Sarasanghchalak (chief) Mohan Bhagwat.
Mr. Shah reached the RSS headquarters in the Mahal area of Nagpur around 3 p.m. and was with Mr. Bhagwat and RSS Sarkaryavaha (general secretary) Bhaiyyaji Joshi for over three hours. Senior RSS functionaries Dattatreya Hosbale and Suresh Soni were present in the closed-door meeting.
Mr. Shah also visited Union Minister Nitin Gadkari at his new residence in the Ramnagar area of Nagpur.
The BJP president’s visit to the RSS headquarters assumes significance as it came on the eve of the Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha (APBS) meeting scheduled in Nagpur later this week.
The ABPS is considered the highest decision-making body of the RSS.
It meets in Nagpur after every three years to elect a new RSS general secretary and appoint other key office-bearers for the next three years.
