‘Political leaders come and go, but common people like us - how much we become good, (to that extent) the country will be good,’ he said in an interaction with children residing in a slum located at Hombegoudarnagar here.
Bhagwat urged the children to lead a life like a lamp which burns for a while, but gives light to the people. ‘You should lead a life like a lamp. It gives light to people by burning itself,’ he said.
Soon after visiting the slum, Bhagwat paid floral tributes to Dr Ambedkar statue and visited few houses. He also had fruit juice in a Dalit woman’s house. Later, Bhagwat performed pooja at Sri Muttu Mariyamma temple situated within the slum.
The Rashtrotthana Parishat, an initiative of RSS founded in 1965 which takes up various projects, is serving in 210 ‘Seva Bastis’ (slums) all across Bengaluru. These bastis have coaching centres for children, day nursery, Balagokula, Computer and tailoring training centres.
