RSS Chief Bhagwat, BJP President Nabin in Vizag for Meetings
Two big groups in India held big meetings near a city called Visakhapatnam.
One group is the RSS and the other group is the BJP.
The leader of the RSS, Mr. Mohan Bhagwat, came for a special yearly meeting.
This meeting is extra special because the RSS is celebrating 100 years since it started.
The leaders are talking about their ideas and plans.
This is happening while young people are protesting in Jantar Mantar and other places.
The leader of the BJP, Mr. Nitin Nabin, came too, for the first time as the party's top leader.
His meeting is about bringing development and new projects to Andhra Pradesh.
They want a big water project called the Polavaram Project to be finished quickly.
Many people will be watching what these leaders say and do.
RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat and BJP national president Nitin Nabin are arriving in Visakhapatnam on Monday for separate programmes.
The RSS Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak (All India Coordination Meeting) will be held from August 19 to 21 at Gudilova School in Anandapuram, about 28 km from Visakhapatnam.
The RSS meeting, held in the RSS centenary year, is expected to map out broader ideological and outreach strategies amid youth agitation at Jantar Mantar and other places across the country.
Nitin Nabin, on his first visit to Andhra Pradesh since becoming BJP chief, is arriving at Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport in Bhogapuram as it starts commercial operations on Monday.
