Hindutva ideologue K N Govindacharya called on senior BJP leader L K Advani at his residence last week, the first meeting of the two former party colleagues in a decade. Govindacharya, Advani’s one-time protege in the BJP, had a bitter falling-out with his mentor, after which he accused Advani of “deviating from ideological issues”.
“Yes, I met him (last week)... it was our first meeting after 1999, the year when I last went to his residence. I had biscuits, a yogurt-based drink, and that is all,” Govindacharya told The Indian Express.
Asked if his channel of communication with Advani would remain open in the future, Govindacharya declined to give a direct answer. He also parried questions on whether it was possible that he might go back to the BJP.
New BJP president Nitin Gadkari said in Nagpur recently that the “return of leaders like K N Govindacharya, Kalyan Singh and Uma Bharti to the party was not ruled out”. Gadkari is expected to enunciate a “policy statement” on the “homecoming of leaders who were once in the party” at a press conference on Thursday.
I think what is called for is the integration of all RSS affiliated organisations into one monolith organisation called, say, Sangha Parivar, headed and led by the Sarsanghchalak. This will avoid overlapping and duplication of organisational work, all of whose aim is to strengthen Hindutva. The primary aim ought not to be to win political power but to wield the power of organisation to set the political agenda in the right direction.
