Moradabad (UP): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said his organisation has no connection with politics and it works only to uplift the moral, cultural and human values of the country.
The RSS chief was in Moradabad for a four-day programme with RSS workers.
Addressing a large gathering at a ground here at the conclusion of the event, Bhagwat said people from all walks of life are a part of the organisation while some also run political parties.
"Elections mean nothing to us. We are working to maintain the values of the country for the last 60 years," he said.
He also denied that the RSS was "remote controlling" the BJP pointing out that the organisation was working for all 130 crore Indians.
Elaborating on the organisation, the 69-year-old explained that anyone can be termed as a RSS worker even if they do not come to their shakhas (activity camps) but should have the ideology of national integrity.
Quoting a meeting of Bhoodan Movement founder Vinoba Bhave and former RSS chief MS Golwalkar, he claimed that the social reformer was a friend of the latter with the same ideology, though not a part of the organisation.
"There are so many top class intellectuals and social reformers who are not our allies but have our ideology. This is our success," he asserted.
Speaking about the role of power, Bhagwat said that if one wants to spread one's ideology, then, it is essential to gain power.
