After BJP came to power in West Bengal, RSS growth exceeded the organisation’s expectation

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s number of shakhas in West Bengal increased by 150 per cent in recent times. Although the final data on the latest number of shakhas would be compiled shortly, reports from various districts in Bengal suggested that the number was up by 150 per cent compared with last year when there were around 5,000 shakhas across the state. The turnout at the shakhas had also increased. Earlier, 10-20 people used to come to a shakha. Now, 50-60 people do. The BJP’s coming to power in Bengal had apparently changed the situation. It was a fact that people in droves joined RSS shakhas after the BJP ousted the Trinamool Government. Many regional RSS leaders claim the scenario has changed dramatically and the growth of the organisation has exceeded our expectations.
