The CM was speaking at the ‘Divya Gita Prerna Utsav’ in Lucknow’s Janeshwar Mishra Park. He, along with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, was the chief guest at the event.

He said, “Diplomats and foreign envoys often ask how the Sangh operates. We tell them that we have worked as ‘swayamsevaks’ (volunteers)...No OPEC country or international church funds it. RSS stands on the strength of society and works with a spirit of service.”
