—Bhaiyaji Joshi, RSS Sarkaryavah
The RSS described the results of 16th Lok Sabha as ‘quite expected’. Talking to mediapersons in Delhi soon after the declaration of results, RSS Sahsarkaryavah Shri Dattatreya Hosabale said the results are not unprecedented and the people were eagerly waiting for them. He said the Sarsanghachalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat had appealed to the people to vote positively in the elections and the result of his appeal is visible in the increase of about 12 per cent hike in voter's percentage. He said the people have voted for a change and they hope good days are ahead. Shri Hosabale also released the statement of Sarkaryavah Shri Bhaiyaji Joshi which he released in Nagpur the same day. Following is the full text of the statement issued by RSS Sarkaryavah Shri Bhaiyaji Joshi in Nagpur and Delhi on May 16, 2014:
“In the recently held Lok Sabha elections, Bharat presented an amasing example of healthy democracy to the world, which is a matter of great pride for all of us. We are also glad that the process of electioneering by and large was peaceful, restrained and led by awakening of masses like never before.
In this election, thousands of political activists, hundreds of candidates across political parties, media houses, administration and security forces, all have played an important and satisfying role. During electioneering, some ideological differences may have surfaced at times and there may have been some personal allegations/ counter-allegations. However, with the culmination of electoral process, we are very hopeful that everyone will now take constructive steps to get back to normal, amicable and positive environment in the interest of the nation. Driven by the undeterred spirit of brotherhood, we expect everyone will work together towards fostering a positive environment for growth and peace.
Millions of voters have expressed their desire for change. We are hopeful that the newly elected government will be successful in fulfilling the people’s aspirations. By setting aside the ideological, religious and social differences, we expect the new government to create an environment where nation stays united, there is total social inclusiveness and no one ever feels exploited.
There is no doubt that the role of government is highly crucial in democracy. We also have to acknowledge though that the process of lasting and positive change has its own pace and will be possible only through collective and coordinated efforts of government, administration, all political parties, common masses and social and religious institutions.
Hearty congratulations to the newly elected government and all fellow citizens of Bharat!”
