The ABVP gradually spread its
work across various
universities in India.[6] Though
the ABVP insists that it is not a
student wing of the right-wing

and is related to it only
through the RSS,[7] many of
the BJP's current leaders, like
Narendra Modi, Sushma
Swaraj and Arun Jaitley were
originally members of the
ABVP.[8]
