RSS's Strategic Outreach: BJP's Hidden Ally in Maharashtra Elections

With Maharashtra assembly polls nearing, the RSS has intensified efforts to sway public opinion towards the BJP by engaging communities through intimate discussions. This election strategy aims to replicate the BJP's success in Haryana and counter the growing influence of opposition alliances like the Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra.

As Maharashtra gears up for assembly elections, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is actively shaping public sentiment in favor of the BJP-led alliance through an extensive outreach program. This move comes as the BJP seeks to replicate its recent electoral triumph in Haryana.

The RSS, in collaboration with its affiliates, has formed local teams tasked with engaging communities in small group meetings, aiming to influence opinion on key topics such as governance, development, and national interest. While not openly endorsing the BJP, these interactions subtly promote pro-BJP narratives.

This strategy has reinvigorated optimism within the BJP ranks, especially after the party's disappointing Lok Sabha performance in Maharashtra. As the election draws near, the stakes are high with the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi gaining momentum after their success in the recent national elections.
