RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat may meet Yogi in Gorakhpur: report

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is likely to meet Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on his home turf Gorakhpur on the 15th of June. This is the first meeting between the two leaders after BJP's disappointing performance in the Lok Saha polls in the state.

Bhagwat has been in Gorakhpur since 12th of June for a "karyakarta" camp. The personal meet also comes amidst perceived rift between the BJP and its ideological mentor RSS after the saffron party failed to cross the majority mark of 272, and massively fell short of the ambitious '400 paar'call of the NDA.

Senior RSS leaders Indresh Kumar and Bhagwat have attributed BJP's loss to its arrogance and have openly criticised the party for underwhelming performance.

"The party which did the bhakti (of lord Ram) but became arrogant was stopped at 241 but it was made the biggest party," he had said, in an apparent reference to Narendra Modi-led BJP which got 240 seats in the Lok Sabha seats.

"And those who had no faith in Ram, they together were stopped at 234," Kumar said.

The remark came days after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said that a true 'sevak' does not have arrogance and serves the people by maintaining 'dignity'.
