Has no one read this article? How did we miss this? Seems like lot of tensions with RSS might've cost us dearly in UP.
RSS pracharaks cutting down their campaigning in UP is like fighting a world war without proper equipment or resources.

Only those in formal leadership positions in the organisation are campaigning. The ordinary pracharak or karyakarta is not campaigning at all,” the Lucknow pracharak said, as he wound up his morning shakha, or gathering, in Lucknow. “Until the last election, shakhas would be one of the most important sites where campaigning was discussed and planned—now, there is nothing happening.”

“The RSS worker does not want material benefits like others,” said Lucknow lecturer Shukla. “But at least we would want the organisation that we nurture on the ground to have some basic sensitivity towards us.”
Shukla did not specify whether or not he is campaigning for the BJP this time, but affirmed “mann toh khatta hua ha (my heart has soured).”
