A nationwide agitation against corruption is being planned with three main RSS sympathisers -- K.N. Govindacharya, S. Gurumurthy and Subramanian Swamy -- at the helm of affairs.: "
  • What came out of the session chaired by Govindacharya was that there is an understanding that corruption is the biggest issue agitating people and the political class is too discredited to leverage that. Hence, the Hindutva groups are creating a broad-based alliance with small political groups and people working for electoral reforms - such as Jayaprakash Narain of the Lok Satta, the Janata Party headed by Subramanian Swamy and the Rashtriya Krantikari Janata Party from Bihar - to whip up support for a mass movement.
What it all added to was that the Hinduta groups, supported by the RSS, are gearing up for a second mass movement against the Congress based on corruption. It is not irrelevant to mention here that the anti-Emergency movement led by Jayaprakash Narayan in the 70s too had an important strategist called Nanaji Deshmukh and a sideeffect of that agitation was the political legitimisation of the RSS.
