All RSS cadres asked not to switch off their mobile phones from now till the last ballot is polled
Reportedly with a week left for the maharashtra election and much at stake, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has enforced its final-round push for a BJP-led nda victory. From asking its Swayamsevaks to be available round-the-clock to call for mock meetings in the dead of the night to check preparedness, the Sangh is virtually leaving nothing to chance this time in Maharashtra. All RSS cadres have been asked not to switch off their mobile phones from now till the last ballot is polled. The order is not just for the low ranking Swayamsevaks deployed in the state, but also the four area in-charges of maharashtra technically the highest-ranking Sangh official deployed in the state right now for election purposes.Meanwhile the senior Sangh functionaries have already checked the preparedness of the Swayamsevaks in various constituencies, say informed sources. Reports has learnt that a call goes out at midnight on their phones to assemble at the local temple a test to ensure they are keeping their phones on 24×7. Once assembled at the temple, they recite the Hanuman Chalisa, which instils a sense of team spirit following which they disperse.Moreover there is a total of 288 assembly constituencies of maharashtra that will go to polls and if sources are to be believed, each of the 288 seats will have three mid-level RSS functionaries whose job will be to keep an eye, coordinate between RSS, bjp and nda allies, soothe local tempers and undo local disenchantment if any that may electorally impact the NDA. It has to reach out to the Marwaris of Vidarbha so that they don’t press NOTA, remind the Buddhist community that it is the narendra modi dispensation that made a Buddhist a law minister, and reach out to Jains through community leaders to name a few.
