According to an Indian Express report, Yogi’s Vahini has seen over 5,000 membership applications on an average every day. It is also reported that Vahini who earlier did not list down any specific rules to join the committee have now come up with an elaborate list of dos and don’t’s for people to join.
Earlier, the Hindu Yuva Vahini which is a social organisation used to receive 500 to0 1000 applications per month. Now, the candidates will undergo a scanning process under which their background will be checked to identify if they belonged to any particular political in the past.
“A lot of people want to join the organisation with a strategy to defame it and hence activities as well as background of the new applicants must be checked. After induction, a newcomer would be given post in the organisation only after working as an ordinary worker for at least six months,” the circular read as.
Additionally, the application forms that earlier cost Rs 11 will now be free and candidates will only be able to apply online.
