Many people including his own daughter have warned Pranab Mukherjee to not to attend the RSS function in Nagpur. But Pranab has gone his own way. He went to the function- praised RSS and paid homage to its founder. RSS seems to have extracted much advantage from his visit. It circulated visuals that convey that Pranab is happy with the role and working of RSS. The tactics of RSS seem to have materialised. Since Pranab da’s visit, the membership requests to join RSS has grown three fold. Earlier the number used to be 400 per day while it’s touching 1200 requests per day. Interestingly, most of them are coming from West Bengal.
