During his five-day stay, the RSS chief will hold separate meetings with volunteers and trainers.

Tight security arrangements have been made both inside and outside the venue, and only selected volunteers are permitted to enter the event site.

Bhagwat had addressed a gathering of RSS trainees at the concluding programme of the organisation's 'Karyakarta Vikas Varg-Dwitiya' in Nagpur on Monday where he had expressed concern over the Manipur situation.

RSS leader Indresh Kumar, speaking at the 'Ramrath Ayodhya Yatra Darshan Poojan Samaroh' at Kanota near Jaipur on Thursday said, "The party which did the 'bhakti' (of Lord Ram) but became arrogant was stopped at 241 but it was made the biggest party."

He was apparently referring to the Narendra Modi-led BJP which got 240 seats in the Lok Sabha polls.

"And those who had no faith in Ram, they together were stopped at 234," he said, apparently referring to the INDIA bloc.
