Respecting the sentiment among its cadres,the RSS Saturday re-elected Bhaiyyaji Joshi as sarkaryawah general secretary.
Bhaiyyaji stepped down from his post today paving the way for election to take place. But he was re-elected. The general sentiment was that Bhaiyyaji has completed only one term and is doing good work,and that another term will give him a chance to take it forward in a better way, RSSs in charge of publicity Manmohan Vaidya said,
Joshi will elect and announce his new team Sunday.
It was speculated that sahsarkaryawah Dattatreya Hosabale might succeed Joshi. Hosabale,seen as a worthy nominee for the second-most important position in the RSS after sarsanghachalak,will now have to wait for the next triennial version of the pratinidhi sabha that elects the organisations leaders.
