Lakhs of members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), a front organisation of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), have fanned out across the nation appealing to people to vote only for the party that is working in the interest of Hindus. The cadres do not specifically ask for votes in the name of the BJP, but the message is conveyed all the same.
All India organising secretary of VHP, Milind Parande, told the FPJ in an exclusive interview on Friday that the Parishad has been receiving "very good response" for the drive. He said the ongoing parliamentary elections are historic in nature and will define the future of India for several decades to come. He said the polls are taking place of in the background "tremendous awakening" within Hindu society.
"The situation now is such that no party can abuse Hindus, do politics at the national level and succeed. A positive change has taken place at the ground level in the form of heightened awareness among Hindus," he observed.
