{ VIJAYADASHAMI CELEBRATIONS } ‘CJI Gavai’s mother will be attending RSS event’
Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 30, 2025
A controversy erupted on Monday over an invitation by the local Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) unit in Maharashtra’s Amaravati town to Kamaltai Gavai, the mother of sitting Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai, to attend the upcoming Vijayadashami celebrations.
Kamaltai Gavai
Rajendra Gavai, the youngest son of Kamaltai and national president of the Republican Party of India (Gavai) faction, said his 86-year-old mother will attend the event scheduled in Amravati on October 5.
His assertion came a day after Marathi newspaper Lok Satta reported that Kamaltai had rejected the invitation and cited a letter allegedly written by her, citing her Ambedkarite roots and allegiance to the Constitution. Kamaltai, who heads Dadasaheb Gavai Charitable Trust in the area, remained unavailable for comment.
