RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale has expressed pride in Suvendu Adhikari, stating that the leader does not need to sign any membership form to be part of the family. Hosabale emphasized that the struggle in Bengal has been not just by swayamsevaks but by the entire Hindu society. 'So, that's why every Hindu voter became a Hindu worker in Bengal. That is why it was a civilisational question,' he said.
Hosabale's comments come amid ongoing political developments in West Bengal, where the BJP and RSS have been actively working to expand their base. The remarks highlight the ideological alignment between the RSS and Suvendu Adhikari, a key BJP leader in the state.
Context of the Statement
Speaking at an event, Hosabale underscored the collective effort of the Hindu community in Bengal, framing the political battle as a deeper cultural and civilisational issue. He praised Adhikari's role in the movement, suggesting that his contributions transcend formal organizational ties.
Implications for Bengal Politics
The statement is seen as a strong endorsement of Adhikari, who has been a prominent face of the BJP in West Bengal. It also reinforces the RSS's narrative of a civilisational struggle in the region, which has been a recurring theme in their campaigns.
Political analysts note that such comments could further consolidate Hindu voters behind the BJP, especially in the run-up to elections. The RSS's support is crucial for the party's organizational strength in the state.
