One leader cannot solve all problems howsoever big he may be, says Bhagwat

TIL Desk/National/Nagpur/ One leader cannot face all the challenges before this country and a single organisation or party cannot bring about change, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said in Nagpur on Tuesday.

This thought was at the base of the Sangh’s ideology, he said, adding that the country got independence only when the common people took to the streets. Bhagwat was speaking at a centenary programme of the Vidarbha  Sahitya Sangh, a Marathi literary body.

“One thing at the base of the Sangh’s ideology is that a single leader is not supposed to tackle all the challenges before this country. He cannot even do that. Howsoever big the leader may be,” the RSS chief said.

“One organisation, one party, one leader cannot bring about change. They help bring it. Change takes place when the common man stands up for it,” he added. India’s freedom struggle began way back in 1857, but it succeeded only when there was a massive awareness and “the common man took to the streets,” Bhagwat said.
