Amid BJP reshuffle buzz, top RSS brass to be in Delhi this week

As BJP looks to form its new organisational team, the party's general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh held discussions with several CMs of BJP-ruled states and similar talks are expected as the entire RSS top brass is expected in the national capital this week.

The BJP is exploring bringing some leaders from the state to national politics and changing the responsibilities of some of its leaders at the national level.

On Friday, Santhosh met the CMs of BJP-ruled Rajasthan and Tripura--Bhajan Lal Sharma and Manik Saha --at the party headquarters here. The deliberations centred around organisational-related issues, it is learnt. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is expected to reach Delhi on Monday evening and is likely to stay for several days. Other top functionaries of the Sangh, including Dattatreya Hosabale, will also be present at the newly-constructed RSS office at Jhandewalan, over this week. Hectic parleys on the BJP's new organisational team and new president are expected to take place during the stay of these top RSS leaders.


Besides BJP's national president, another key appointment is that of BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit head, who will remain in the post till the 2027 assembly polls.

The selection process of BJP's new president has been delayed with sources indicating lack of agreement between the party and Sangh. However, RSS has officially downplayed these reports of differences with the BJP over this.

For the last several years now, the Sangh has not loaned its full-timers to BJP. As a result, the post of general secretary (organisation) in several state units is lying vacant, including in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Kerala and Goa.
