Friday, Mar 12: A crucial RSS meet begins in Jaipur today, where its top brass will fine-tune the election strategy of the Sangha Parivar.
Recent BJP attempts to win over Muslims has caused a rift within the Sangha and the meet will try to bridge the divide between the BJP and the VHP. Interestingly the RSS is also trying for a subtle image makeover, with an attempt to woo women voters. The Sangha is now planning special celebrations for the 500th birth anniversary of Meera Bai—ignored so far by the Sangha Parivar. To finalize the Sangha Parivar's electoral strategy, BJP President Venkaiah Naidu and two of his general secretaries will also attend the RSS gathering.
