It is being presumed that in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat visited the Baba's ashram to seek His blessings as well as of goddess Vindhyavasini. The RSS leader association with Baba's ashram runs for decades. In October 2022, Bhagwat had visited Baba's Ashram to seek His blessings.
Even before the commencement of the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Bhagwat went to the Ashram to seek late Devraha Baba's blessings. Sources said the RSS chief offered prayers to goddess Vindhyavasini for peace and prosperity in the country. RSS' provincial pracharak Anil, state Pracharak Ramesh and several other volunteers accompanied Bhagwat during the occasion.
Earlier, the RSS top boss Sunday addressed the concluding ceremony of Gram Vikas Milan programme in Rajasthan's Dungarpur. He urged the people to come together to develop the villages instead of waiting for the government. Bhagwat said that a group has to be formed in every village and the group should take collective decisions for the village's development.
