Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat, who often shares his views on important national issues, recently attended the inauguration of a new building at Shri Dayanand Gurukul College in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh. During the event, a student asked Bhagwat why has he not taken up a prominent position like the Prime Minister of India or any other important role so far?
In response, Bhagwat stated that workers (Karyakartas) like him are not here to hold positions of power but to serve the nation. He said, "We are not here to become something. We are here to work for the country. Let the glory of our motherland remain eternal, whether we live for four days or not (Tera Vaibhav amar rahe maan, hum din char rahein na rahein)."
RSS' orders are supreme: Bhagwat
Speaking further, Bhagwat emphasised that any RSS volunteer, when asked personally, would express a desire to run a branch (shakha). He added that the orders of the RSS are supreme and that he has dedicated himself completely to the organisation's work. He noted that if it weren’t for the commitment to the country, no one would leave their home. "We decided what our worth is...We should work by fully dedicating ourselves to the nation. Therefore, we have closed the door to such positions from the beginning," he added.
No personal ambition: Bhagwat
Bhagwat also mentioned that the RSS dictates what needs to be done, and he follows accordingly. The RSS chief asserted that he has no personal ambition or desire, stating, "We are nothing as individuals. We have given up everything. If it were up to us, we would even renounce our name and form, but that is not allowed in the Sangh."
