RSS marches forward; will make significant changes

There is always enmity between political parties due to their differences in ideologies and practice methods. In this political race where one is always trying to top the other, who will win?

The RSS shadow will continues to loom large in the BJP, which is expected to see at least three new RSS men replacing fellow pracharks in the saffron party organization. Also, the long awaited reshuffle in BJP president Amit Shah’s team could take place after the meeting of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh’s Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha in March. The meeting of the RSS’ all-powerful decision-making body is scheduled to take place in Nagpur, the Sangh’s headquarters.

Sources disclosed RSS’ kshetra pracharak of western UP, Alok, could be deputed in the BJP at a key position. Also, speculation is rife that the current general secretary (organization) in the saffron party, Ramlal, who has been holding this important post for nearly a decade, could be promoted as a governor. The post of general secretary (organization) in the BJP and its state units are held by RSS men.

Similarly, two other RSS functionaries in the central BJP could be replaced by fellow pracharks. Other than Mr Ramlal, there are currently four joint general secretaries (organization) in the BJP.

Sources disclosed with Assembly elections in key states, including Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, scheduled this year, “new faces” from these states could be accommodated in Mr Shah’s team. Many positions in the BJP’s central team, including some general secretaries and vice-presidents, are pending as some leaders were accommodated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s team, while some are now part of UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s council of ministers. Ever since Mr Shah took over the helm of the BJP, the central team has not seen any major reorganization.

Other than the BJP, the RSS could also make significant changes in its state and regional teams. Sources disclosed though speculation is rife that RSS’ second-in-command, Bhaiyya Joshi, who is not keeping well, could be replaced. The RSS supremo, Mohan Bhagwat, however, is in favor of Mr Joshi continuing at the post.
