How the RSS Chief’s Warning Against ‘Demonic Forces’ Mirrors New Delhi’s Political Stance

New Delhi, October 20, 2026 — Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has echoed Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government’s narrative against Opposition protests by warning against designs of “regime change.” By citing protests in the western Europe and France in particular, Bhagwat set the backdrop to the “regime change” narrative.

“A storm is sweeping through the West,” said Bhagwat, adding that the protests are “driven by a demonic resolve to destroy and devastate all that is decent, auspicious, and rooted in cultural and human values.”

His remarks came in the backdrop of massive protests in New Delhi against the contentious special intensive revision (SIR) of the Election Commission that called for resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Also, violent protests have swept through France.

Bhagwat also sought to endorse the response of the Modi government, spotlighting the law-and-order aspect for the youth protest. The RSS chief stressed that “we must be vigilant against the lures of votes, cheap popularity, and political gains.”

Bhagwat also urged upon the followers to avoid discord in conflicts between “the administration’s law-and-order measurers” and agitations. He seemed suggesting that the administration is somehow compelled to take tough measures to deal with agitations.

“As Bharat continues to progress in this manner, the designs of those forces that seek to create instability among the nations of the world and install their own proxies in positions of influence, so that they can serve as instruments for advancing their selfish interests, will be thwarted, and their operations will be shut down,” the Organiser, an RSS-affiliated outlet, quoted Bhagwat saying in his speech.

Union Minister for Defence Rajnath Singh in his Lucknow press conference recently had spoken of the “regime change” as the aim of the agitations in India. Later, the Opposition parties asserted that they indeed seek regime change, which is the literal translation of their slogan “Vote chor, gaddi Chhor.”

AISA president Neha Bora’s video clip in which she hailed the Gen Z movement in Bangladesh had recently trended on the social media platforms. The Modi government sympathisers had amplified the video, arguing that the youth protests in India also aimed at “regime change.”
