Mumbai: In a shocking revelation, an an Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionary filed an affidavit in the Nanded Court alleging that the group of Right Wing Organisations had detonated a series of bomb blasts across the country to help Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win elections, a report published in Muslim Mirror stated.
Yashwant Shinde, who claimed he is an RSS functionary, said in the affidavit that it was RSS and organisations affiliated to it that detonated a series of bomb blasts across the country. He himself was present in the camps giving the training to bomb blasts, Shinde told the Nanded Court.

In the affidavit, Shinde named several RSS and VHP functionaries including Indresh Kumar, and Himanshu Panse, Milind Parande, Rakesh Dhawade, and Ravi Dev (Mithun Chakravarty), who took part in many levels of the bomb blast project, from organising to selecting fighters, to planning, to executing the project.
Shinde also noted that he was not on the side where his masters were and that he did not wish to be part of heinous crimes. He also claimed that he even discouraged those with whom he had better connections in the organisation from carrying out bomb blasts, thus saving the lives of many innocent Hindus, Muslims and Christians, the affidavit said.
“As the RSS and VHP’s plan of causing blasts throughout the country was not as successful as was expected the BJP was not politically benefitted. Consequently, in the 2004 elections, the Congress party got the majority. Persons like Milind Parande who were the main conspirators were scared and went underground, but they continued hatching conspiracies secretly. By remaining underground they carried out many bomb blasts across the country and with the help of biased police and one-sided media blamed them on Muslims. That helped them in 2014 Loksabha elections,” the affidavit reads.
According to the affidavit, in 2014 the BJP captured power at the Centre and Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister. This resulted in the sudden activation of all the underground destructive forces belonging to Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
In the affidavit, the applicant states that the three persons mentioned are the main conspirators in the Nanded blast case of 2006 and requested they are to be brought before the law.
