The sour taste of BJP-Sangh is diminishing
The positive role of the Sangh was affirmed in the recent Haryana elections when the BJP successfully created history by winning for the third consecutive time.

Notably, Sangh president Mohan Bhagwat visited Gorakhpur immediately after the 2024 results were declared.

However, no one confirmed this at the time and it was speculated that no formal meeting took place between the Sangh chief and the UP ministers in Gorakhpur. Now, this meeting of CM Yogi is also seen from the perspective of “all is well” between the BJP Sangh and the BJP and Yogi.
