The union home minister and senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh will visit the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur on Thursday to take part in RSS’s ongoing Tritiya Varsha Sangh Shiksha Varg.
The RSS’s annual 25-day “3rd Year OTC or Tritiya Varsh Sangh Shiksha Varg” of 2015 was inaugurated on Monday morning at Reshimbagh premises in Nagpur by RSS Sah-Sarkaryavaha Dattatreya Hosabale.
“Rajnath Singh will reach Nagpur by 10.30 am and will directly head to Hedgewar Smriti Mandir in Reshimbag to take part in the RSS event. He is expected to chair a review meeting of officials of anti-Naxal units at Ravi Bhavan later on in the day if he is able to spare time,” Chandan Goswami, the chief of BJP publicity wing in Vidrabha area, told The Hindu.
According an RSS office bearer in Nagpur, the union home minister is likely to deliver a lecture at the Tritiya Sangh Shikha Varg.
“It is customary for every sister organization of the Sangh to send a representative to Sangh Shiksha Varg. Rajnath Singh would be representing the BJP on Thursday,” said the RSS officer bearer requesting anonymity.
There is no scheduled meeting with RSS boss Mohan Bhagwat or general secretary Bhayyaji Joshi during the union home minister's Nagpur trip.
“But if Rajnath Singh is coming to the RSS headquarters, then he will definitely discuss important national issues with the top brass of the RSS. The allegation of corruption levelled against senior BJP minister Nitin Gadkari are likely to figure in the discussion,” added another RSS source.
