In what came as a surprise, interim chairman of Tata Sons Ratan Tata called on Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, in Nagpur on Wednesday.
Tata, who turned 79 on Wednesday, flew from Mumbai to Nagpur to meet Bhagwat. He was accompanied by BJP spokesperson Shaina NC. Tata, who had retired as the Chairman of Tata Sons in December 2012, took over as the interim chairman of the Tata Sons on October 24, after Tata Sons chief Cyrus Mistry, who was unceremoniously removed from the post.
Tata and Bhagwat had a closed door meeting. Though what transpired at the meeting was not immediately known, sources in the RSS described the meeting as a “courtesy call”.
Tata had in October last week met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitely, even as he waged a bitter board room battle with Cyrus Mistry.
