He argued that political leaders with a thirst for power

Bhagwat Urges Protesters to Follow the Constitution
While acknowledging that agitations are a natural part of a democracy, Bhagwat urged protesters to ensure their actions remain constructive.
Problems will remain, and protests are inevitable in a democracy. But what should the purpose of protests be? They should be aimed at finding solutions.

Revach noted that such values are essential for resisting extreme forces that seek to destabilize national identity.
Centenary Outreach and Future Policy Goals
As the RSS concludes its centenary year, the organization highlighted the scale of its national outreach.
Records indicate that Sadbhavana Baithaks (goodwill meetings) were conducted in 5,036 taluks, while Hindu Sammelans were organized in 34,187 mandals.
Bhagwat used the platform to call for a new model of development that balances economic progress with social and human welfare, specifically noting the dangers of drug addiction as a serious national problem.
He also addressed the need for environmental caution in the Himalayan region, where he noted that infrastructure growth must be balanced with public safety to prevent human loss.
Regarding digital safety, he reiterated the need to regulate OTT platforms and social media to protect the youth from age-inappropriate content.
Bhagwat reaffirmed that the RSS’s efforts to build a strong Hindu society are intended to strengthen national unity rather than exclude other faiths.
He asserted that India’s unity is based on an emotional bond and not a transactional relationship.
