RSS Invites Former Vice-President Dhankhar to Vijayadashami Event Amid Political Tensions
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has invited former Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar to its annual Vijayadashami event in Nagpur on October 20, marking the culmination of its centenary celebrations. Dhankhar resigned in July 2025 amid strained ties with the Modi government. While the RSS views his invitation as reaffirming its authority, the Congress criticizes the BJP leadership for sidelining Dhankhar, highlighting internal tensions within the Sangh Parivar. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will deliver the event's keynote address.
