RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat praises Narendra Modi-led government for good governance

NAGPUR: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today came out in fulsome praise of the Modi government for initiatives on national security, economy and international relations in a short period of six months.

In his customary Dusshera address to RSS workers at Reshmbagh ground here, which was shown live on Doordarshan for the first time, he said, positive signs are emanating that give people the hope that India is emerging stronger on the international stage.

He said people should give some more time to the government for expedition and efficient execution of its policies.

Unless the last person in the country feels satisfied with welfare initiatives, security and safety, the government cannot complete its task, Bhagwat said.

"We don't have a magic wand to change but the government seems committed," he said during the address.

Bhagwat said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to the US has sent positive signals and has ushered a new enthusiasm among people of the country.

"A new ray of hope has entered in the hearts of the people. The entire country was feeling proud of the visit and the subsequent talks with the US government," he said, adding, the world needs India.

He also lauded the efforts of the Centre and volunteers of the RSS for undertaking rescue works in Jammu and Kashmir which has recently witnessed worst-ever floods.

While paying homage to those killed in the floods, Bhagwat said, "Our sympathies are with the families."

The swiftness, efficiency and open-heartedness of the Central government that has provided relief to the affected people, deserves appreciation, he said.
