00:00Just a day after Narendra Modi took oath for the third time as the Prime Minister,

00:04RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat criticised Modi's poll campaign. Defining sevak,

00:10the head of BJP's ideological parent organisation said,

00:13Welcome to Deep Dive with Outlook. Today we will be addressing Mohan Bhagwat's recent public

00:33address. Mohan Bhagwat's comments are directly related to the Prime Minister. The emphasis on

00:39arrogance comes when the BJP fell short of majority. All while, Charso Paar was the party's

00:46slogan in the election. The party alone barely managed to get 240 seats. In fact, for the first

00:53time in the last two decades, PM Modi shied away from referring himself in third person.

00:58While media is calling it Modi 3.0, the Prime Minister gave credit to the NGA coalition

01:04while addressing karyakartas on June 5. RSS has been considered the foundational base of

01:09the BJP. But political analysts suggest the on-ground cadre did not even work for the party

01:15with much gusto. The timing of Mohan Bhagwat's speech is what is most intriguing. Among other

01:21things, Bhagwat called for immediate action in Manipur to tackle the ongoing riots. It has been

01:27more than a year since the riots started. He says they are still waiting for change.

01:33The question is, why did RSS not speak about these issues before, as the violence began

01:39almost a year ago? Bhagwat also mentioned that dignity was not maintained during the campaigns.

01:46He said, no one cares about social division being created because of what is being shown.

01:51It is not only Mohan Bhagwat who has come heavily on the BJP. RSS mouthpiece, Organiser,

01:58in one of its pieces written by Ratan Sharda, stated targets are achieved by hard work on the

02:04field, not sharing posters and selfies on social media.
