• One particular TV channel reported like this-

"We went to all wineshops before arriving here. Our aim was to know whether there was any vehicle or person who came to the sangik standing there waiting to purchase liquor.To our astonishment , we could not see a single person or a vehicle standing in front of the shop. During the live telecast the TV reporter also reported when videocameras focused on the road sides-“See here! Thousands and Thousands are participating in this programme.But no one could be seen,in front of the liquor shop.A scene different from usual political rallies

• The IG of police (southern region) advised all his subordinate police personnel not to interfere in RSS arrangements. They would have planned everything. Don’t disturb them .So police were deployed wherever necessary.

• One DSP of police who came to see the vehicle arrangements was inspired on seeing the arrangements made by our karyakarthas.Everything was clear. So he got one copy of layout arrangement from our karyakartha to keep in his custody.

• Not even a single mode of advertisement done (no poster, wall board, flux, pamphlet). Person to person contact had given the fruitful results

• The Adhyaksha of our sanghik, Hon’ble Justice Shri A. R. Ramalingam (Retd. High Court Judge, Chennai) was allotted ten minutes to deliver his presidential address. But he cut short his speech. When our karyakartha enquired about this, he said- I am a Judge. Judgment will always be short and apt. So I gave my judgment about sangh. The judgement was- “sangh is the only source to bring about a change in every walk of life including politics. I have a hope on sangh.”
