BJP MP Kangana Ranaut calls for 'RSS-run' schools in Himachal Pradesh, says 'it is a good initiative'
Actor-turned-politician and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut expressed her support for the establishment of RSS-run schools in Himachal Pradesh.
BJP member Kangana Ranaut, an MP representing Mandi in Lok Sabha, has proposed the establishment of RSS-run schools in Himachal Pradesh if her party assumes power in the state. Ranaut, who transitioned from being an actor to politics, stated that the idea is commendable and should be emulated in Himachal Pradesh as well. While attending a meeting of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) in Mandi, Ranaut voiced her support for the initiative, emphasizing that such schemes should be introduced when the BJP-led government takes office in the state.
She highlighted the positive impact of RSS-run educational programs, such as the Eklavya Model Schools and NEET preparation courses, which offer improved prospects for students in rural and remote areas. Ranaut characterized the RSS as a symbol of national pride, pointing out that the organization has built numerous schools and contributed during times of national crisis.
In response to allegations of saffronization of education by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, Ranaut accused the party of spreading anti-national sentiments. Her remarks on RSS-run schools follow West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's announcement to set up at least 1,000 Vidya Bharati institutions across the state.
The education wing of the RSS, Vidya Bharati, is preparing for a significant expansion of its school network in West Bengal.
