RSS’ Arun Kumar to coordinate with BJP
The Hindu
The change assumes importance as U.P., Gujarat and Uttarakhand go to polls next year
In an ongoing meeting of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s full-time pracharaks at Chitrakoot in Madhya Pradesh, a significant organisational change was introduced by replacing joint general secretary Krishna Gopal with Arun Kumar, another joint general secretary, as its coordinator on political issues and with the BJP. The position is considered sensitive as it involves coordinating with the BJP-led government and the BJP on political issues, and assumes more importance by the fact that Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Uttarakhand are to go to Assembly polls next year. One joint general secretary (organisation) is also likely to be seconded to the BJP, said sources. RSS prachar pramukh Sunil Ambekar confirmed the change that Mr. Kumar, recently made joint general secretary in the RSS, was to hold the coordinator’s position, but maintained that this was a routine organisational shuffle.More Related News
