Workload increasing,RSS expands top team

Suresh Soni and Dattatreya Hosbale have been retained as Sahsarkaryawahs,and K C Kannan from Kerala,the Sharirik Pramukh in the earlier team,and Krishna Gopal from UP have been given the position in the new team finalised on Sunday.

Kannan is in his 40s and Gopal is in mid-50s. This is also a logical extension of the process of bringing younger faces that began with Mohan Bhagwat taking over as RSS chief. This team will now last for more or less 10 years since the process of bringing youth to the leadership has almost fructified now, sources said.

Publicity in-charge Manmohan Vaidya said: There is a need to share the growing RSS work,which is growing in terms of both magnitude and dimensions. The two more Sahsarkaryawahs have been drafted precisely for that. Gopal is the new entrant in the team
