PM Modi's visit to RSS founder's memorial seen as reaffirmation of ideological commitment
The Statesman Siliguri
|March 30, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to visit the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) Dr Hedgewar Smruti Mandir in Nagpur at Reshimbagh on Sunday, 30 March, which happens to be Gudi Padwai, the Hindu New Year, and it is being viewed by observers as a politically significant message.
Mr Modi will be the second Prime Minister to visit the Smriti Mandir, which is located in the Reshimbagh area of Nagpur, since Atal Behari Vajpayee was the first PM to visit the venue.
PM Modi's visit to the Smriti Mandir coincides with the RSS celebrating 100 years of its foundation.
"PM Modi's visit to the Smriti Mandir is being seen as an opportunity to reaffirm his commitment to the RSS ideology," according to a BJP leader.
The RSS and the Hindu New Year celebration of Gudi Padwa have a special connection, since as per the Hindu calendar, the birth anniversary of RSS founder late Keshav Balirampant Hedgewar falls on Gudi Padwa.
