Mumbai, Jun 10 (Reporter) Clean process of elections are essential for democracy, RSS chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat said while expressing concern over the fake-narratives being propagated during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. He said that the BJP-led NDA has come to power at the Centre once again, but it is not free of challenges. “Elections are an essential process of democracy. Since there are two sides in it there is a contest. Since it is a contest, efforts are made to take oneself forward. But there is a dignity to it. Lies should not be used. People are being elected to go to the Parliament and run our country. They will do so by coming to a consent,” Dr Bhagwat said. “This contest is not a war. The kind of criticisms that were made for each other, the manner in which a campaign would lead to tiff in society and there will be divisions -- none of it was taken care of,” the RSS chief said. He lamented that organisations like RSS were also dragged into it needlessly. "Falsehood was presented with the help of technology... Modern technology was used to propagate falsehood. How will a country like that? ...It is called Opposition... It should not be considered an adversary. They are Opposition, revealing one side. Their opinions should also come to light...There is dignity in contesting elections. That dignity was not maintained. It is necessary to do so because the challenges facing our country have not ended,” he said. About the new government, Dr Bhagwat added: “The same government is back to power - NDA. It is right that a lot of positive things have happened in last 10 years...But it does not mean that we are free of challenges now.....////...
