Barely a month after his all-inclusive addresses at the three-day event -- 'Future of Bharat: An RSS perspective', RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat renewed the demand for a Ram temple in Ayodhya in his annual Vijayadashami speech last week.
'Temple construction is necessary from the self-esteem point of view; it will also pave the way for an atmosphere of goodwill and oneness,' Bhagwat said.Bhagwat also made a strong electoral pitch for the BJP in his Vijayadashami address, indicating that other political parties support 'Urban Maoists'.
Professor Walter K Andersen, co-author of two acclaimed books on the RSS, "expected a somewhat sharper tone on some economic issues" from Bhagwat, he tells Rediff.com's Utkarsh Mishra. Read the interview here.
