Bhaiyyaji Joshi gets another term as RSS general secretary

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Bhaiyyaji Joshi was on Saturday re-elected as Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh general secretary for another term of three years by its office bearers from across the country.

Joshi, who has been holding the post since 2009, will now continue in the position till 2021. He will be the second Sarkaryawah of the RSS to serve such a long stint after H V Seshadri who had held the post from 1987 to 2000.

The Sangh’s general secretary is its executive head who looks after the day-to-day affairs of the organisation. “The election of seh karyavah (general secretary) was today held peacefully and Shri Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi was re-elected for another term,” RSS Prachar Pramukh Manmohan Vaidya told.

He was speaking on the sidelines of the sangh’s all-important triennial meeting “Pratinidhi Sabha”. Joshi’s re-election also puts an end to speculation that joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale could replace him as the Sangh’s new general secretary.
