Udupi, Apr 25: Senior RSS leader H Somashekhar Bhatt received a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday enquiring about his health.
Bhatt got emotional hearing the Prime Minister's voice at the other end, family sources said.
The Prime Minister called at 8.30 AM and began the conversation with 'Somashekharji' and spoke for about six minutes.
The 85-year-old veteran recalled how the Jana Sangh came to power in Udupi municipality under the leadership of V S Acharya in 1968 and about his association with the Sangh Parivar through the decades and his imprisonment during the Emergency.
Bhatt, former Udupi municipality president, later said it was a rare honour for him.
"I am very glad that PM Modi called and spoke to me. I shared the experience of meeting him at the Jaipur session.
Asked to take care of health and expressed concern," he said.
The Prime Minister has been calling senior functionaries of the party who worked for the Sangh Parivar in the time of adversities to build up the BJP in its present form and seeking advice from them.
He had also called in recent days former MLA Ram Bhat who was elected from Puttur in Dakshina Kannada and D H Shankar Murthy, who was former chairman of the state legislative council, BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel tweeted.

I am ashamed to say that i too had the brown chaddi..attitude. but i changed yself nd left the group as they were no different from the touble makers around..i also ask my hindu brothers to give off their ideoloogy and support to such mass murderers and take the route of friendhsip within our community and with hindus and muslims...
just keep all these third classs people away.. they are a posion and menace to the society
To maintain peace in mangalore first thing she should do is to arrest all the chaddi terrorists and all the leaders of BD, RSS, RS etc who always trying to disturb the peace. If she control these anti national elements then our kudla will be peaceful.
Note: Manglore is peaceful only because of PFI and SDPI. If these two organisations were not in mangalore then Chaddi terrorists would have destroyed the name of mangalore.
I dont think so a lady cop can control crimes.. especially in mangalore
Dont favour Muslims much. SDPI, PFI are the trouble makers in Mangalore
Cheddi people are the biggest threat and should control them. Then Mangaluru will be peaceful city
Hope you can serve better and crimes under control
Congrats... all the best
