RSS joint general secretary Arun Kumar has also been appointed as the BJP’s coordinator.
New Delhi:
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Sunday ushered in a significant organizational change by making its joint general secretary Arun Kumar the interface for political issues and the coordinator with the BJP.
He replaced another joint general secretary, Krishan Gopal, who had taken charge since 2015.
The change was announced at a meeting of full-time RSS workers in Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh.
When contacted, RSS’s Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar confirmed the development and said that Arun Kumar will be the Sangh’s coordinator for political issues, including the BJP.
He further added that this is a regular exercise and the Sangh keeps on shifting its workers from one responsibility to another.
Earlier this year, the RSS underwent a generational change in its organizational structure by promoting Dattatreya Hosabale as general secretary and Arun Kumar as joint general secretary Ramdutt Chakradhar.
