RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's speech was never telecast live on Doordarshan on the occasion of Vijaya Dashmi and is likely to trigger criticism amid demands from other organisations and community leaders to be given equal space on national broadcaster for live coverage of their speeches.




Senior Congress leader Rashid Alvi also criticised the move.



 


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).
