Accompanied by BJP spokesperson Shaina NC, the corporate leader visited RSS headquarters ‘Hedgewar Bhavan’ at Reshimbaug in the afternoon. Earlier, he was received by RSS functionaries on his arrival at the airport.

Tata, currently the interim chairman of Tata Sons, the country's biggest conglomerate, had a 20-minute-long meeting with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, a senior Sangh functionary told PTI.

What transpired at the meeting was, however, unknown.

Before proceeding to the RSS headquarters for talks with Bhagwat, 79-year-old Tata paid his tributes to its founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar at one of his memorials in the city.
