I hope someone files a PIL against DD’s plans to cover the RSS chief's speech live. This naked state majoritarianism must be resisted. — Ramachandra Guha (@Ram_Guha) October 3, 2014

The RSS is a sectarian Hindu body. Next, imams in mosques and priests in churches may ask that DD covers their speeches live! — Ramachandra Guha (@Ram_Guha) October 3, 2014

Senior Congress leader Rashid Alvi also criticised the move.

DD is run by public money.So how is Govt using it to broadcast RSS Chief's speech? Unfortunate-Rashid Alvi,Congress pic.twitter.com/ccFSkCWiQO — ANI (@ANI_news) October 3, 2014

This is the first Vijaya Dashmi address by the RSS chief after the BJP-led NDA has come to power led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Later today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also connect with people via a radio programme titled "Man ki Baat" that will be telecast live by the All India Radio (AIR) and other leading private broadcasters on the Vijaya Dashmi.

"Many ideas and suggestions for my forthcoming radio programme have come. Have decided to hold the first programme on 3rd October at 11:00 am," Modi had said in a post on social networking site 'Twitter'.

In another tweet in Hindi, Modi had said "3 October ko aap sabhi se radio par kuch man ki baatein karunga" (On 3rd October, I will share some of my thoughts with all of you).
