We're proud of Sanghstan link, says Maha guv
RAMTEK: Showing no qualms about government's association with RSS, Maharashtra governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, on Tuesday, said he was proud to be part of 'Sanghstan' and that misconceptions abound about the saffron organisation.
The new term, publicly used by Rao to denote the Nagpur-based RSS, took even the dignitaries by surprise, including Union minister Nitin Gadkari and RSS general secretary Bhaiyaji Joshi, both one-time pracharaks.
Governor Rao said, "We all have come from Sanghstan and are proud to be associated with it," before his address, but he used the word several times in his 30-minute speech at the inauguration of MS Golwarkar Gurukul at the Kavikulguru Kalidas Sanskr it University.
