Mohan Bahgwat is the new RSS chief

INDIAN ELECTION NEWS: KS Sudarshan, chief of Rashtriya Swayayamsewak Sangh (RSS), announced his retirement today citing his health reasons. Mohan Bhagwat has succeeded him.

Mohan Bahgwat is the new 'Sar Sangh Chalak' (chief) of the RSS. His appointment comes with an expectation to redefine relations with the BJP at a time when the saffron party is trying hard to come back to power at the Centre.

Mohan Bahgwat has replaced KS Sudarshan who steps down after being at the helm of the Sangh Parivar fountain head for nearly nine long years when there were many ups and downs in its ties with BJP during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's term as Prime Minister of India of the NDA government.

The election of Mohan Bhagwat as ‘Sar Sangh Chalak’ came on the 2nd day of the 3 day RSS conclave that is expected to redefine its relationship with the BJP.

NDA hopes for ties with BJD post polls

It may be all over for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in Orissa (India). But yes, the umbrella National Democratic Alliance, the alliance of BJP and better known as NDA is still hopeful that the BJD will go with them after the polls.

Sharad Yadav, convener of NDA told to the media that the BJD has not entered into an alliance with any party. Only in Orissa do they have an alliance with the Left. He also said that his party does not have allies at the moment. But the party is hopeful to get them after the polls.

BJD ditched the right and turned to Left, though this is a positive development for the Left's ambitious Third Front. They say that the real partnerships would depend on the numbers after the elections.

Sitaram Yechury, the politburo member of CPM says, "In the last 20 years, coalitions have been formed only after the elections."

Yes it is true, in the last 20 years, all strong alliances have happened only after elections.

How the ties of the Left-BJD alliance can be will only depend on how the Third Front fares.
