Shiv Sena wants NDA to consider RSS chief Bhagwat as President of India

On Mar 27, 2017

The Shiv Sena on Monday said that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagat’s name should be considered as the next President of India. The Presidential election is due in July.

Senior Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said that if the dream of a “Hindu Rashtra” (Hindu nation) has to be fulfilled, then Bhagwat should be made the President.

“A Hindutatvawadi (pro Hindu) leader is the Prime Minister of the country in the form of Narendra Modi. Recently, Yogi Adityanath, another Hindutatva leader, was made the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.

So, if the dream of a Hindu rashtra has to be fulfilled, then Bhagwat should be made the President,” Raut said.

The BJP has initiated steps to rally its allies in the NDA. According to BJP leaders, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has been invited to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dinner party this week for the NDA allies to firm up the strategy for the upcoming presidential polls
