Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh head Mohan Bhagwat are likely to meet on Saturday for the first time since the Lok Sabha elections.

The expected meeting in UP’s Gorakhpur district would come on the heels of Bhagwat saying that a true “sevak” is not arrogant and serves the people by maintaining dignity, in his first remarks after the Lok Sabha election results on June 4 that sparked a buzz. The Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won the polls and a third straight term but with a reduced mandate.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), of which the RSS is an ideological mentor, saw its Lok Sabha tally taper in Uttar Pradesh, managing only 33 seats, down from 62 in 2019. The Congress-Samajwadi Party alliance won 43.

Bhagwat reached Gorakhpur on Wednesday and is likely to stay here for five days. On Thursday, he attended a karyakarta (cadre) camp here and discussed the political situation, social issues, and the Sangh’s expansion. Around 280 RSS volunteers from the Kashi, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, and Awadh regions are participating in the camp at a school in the Chiutaha area.

The UP chief minister is also likely to visit his home district Gorakhpur to review the development work being carried out there along with state government officials.

Bhagwat on Monday addressed a gathering of RSS trainees in Nagpur, where he expressed concern over the Manipur situation, which he said must be considered with priority.

The RSS chief said conflict in various places and society was not good. He stressed on unity among all communities in the country, which he said was very diverse though people understand it is one and not separate.

While referring to the Lok Sabha election campaign, he said, “A true ‘sevak’ maintains dignity. He follows the decorum while working. He does not have the arrogance to say ‘I did this work’. Only that person can be called a true ‘sevak’.”
