The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) elected Dattatreya Hosabale as the next sarkaryavah (general secretary) on Saturday, 20 March, replacing Suresh ‘Bhaiyyaji’ Joshi — who has held the position for a record twelve years from 2009.
The post of sarkaryavah – which manages day-to-day activities of the organisation as the sarsanghchalak acts as the Sangh Parivar’s “guide and philosopher” – is considered the highest executive post in the RSS.
