The man in the chair may want something to happen; he knows the challenges,&#8221; Bhagwat said, extending his support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span class=\"cf0\">He explained that multiple issues arise during the decision-making process. Bureaucracy, competing interests, and procedural delays make action a complex calculus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span class=\"cf0\">Small-scale organisations and trade unions present another test. They naturally clash with the government, defending local interests and pressing demands. Aligning labour bodies, government authorities, and political leadership is rare. When it happens, it is fragile, and when demanded aggressively, the struggle only deepens, and tension becomes the measure of coordination, he said, elaborating on issues related to internal coordination with the party and the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span class=\"cf0\">\u201cAmid all this, the Sangh stands apart. Its <\/span><span class=\"cf0\">swayamsevaks<\/span><span class=\"cf0\"> work with honesty, clarity, and purpose. They do not operate with ideological labels; their work is rooted in dedication, service, and discipline. Authority, they show, is not about titles or power. It is about preparation, persistence, ethical commitment, and always acting in the national interest,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/madhuparna-das-2023-11-ecc61f628a0222fd0cfb0817dcd354a5.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/madhuparna-das-26293.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Madhuparna Das<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Madhuparna Das, Associate Editor (policy) at CNN News 18, has been in journalism for nearly 14 years.
