RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday said that dignity was not maintained by political parties during the just concluded Lok Sabha elections and added 'this contest is not a war'.
Speaking in Nagpur about the Lok Sabha elections, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said, "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...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. 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...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 doesn't mean that we are free of challenges now..."
