Modi to visit RSS HQ on March 30, a first by any PM

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the RSS headquarters in Nagpur at the end of this month, a development that will be closely watched in political circles. His visit is scheduled for March 30, the first day of the Hindu calendar. On the same day, Modi is also set to lay the foundation stone for the Madhav Eye Hospital, an RSS-backed initiative in Nagpur.

At the inauguration, Modi will share the stage with RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, marking what could be the third such occasion since 2014 and the first after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Following the event, Modi is likely to visit the RSS headquarters in Resham Bagh, Nagpur-his first visit there since becoming PM and the first by any sitting PM, according to sources.

A one-on-one meeting between Modi and Bhagwat is expected during the visit, a discussion likely to draw attention, especially as the BJP has yet to announce its next president. Over the past month, Modi has repeatedly spoken about the influence of the RSS on his life.
