Dattatreya Hosabale was nominated as the new Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ‘Sarkaryawah’ (General Secretary).
Hosabale, who was born in Karnataka, was the Sangh’s Sah-Sarakaryavah (Joint General Secretary) until recently. Seventy three-year-old Suresh ‘Bhaiyyaji’ Joshi, who was Sarkaryawah for four terms is replaced by Hosabale.
Sarkaryawah post is considered as Sangh’s number 2 in command afterSarsanghchalak (Chief of RSS) which is currently held by Mohan Bhagwat.
Though ABPS is an annual meet held at different places, but every third year it is held at RSS headquarters in Nagpur as election of Sarkaryawah will take place.
However, it was shifted to Bengaluru this time in the wake of surging COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra. Hosabale, 65, was born in Sorab in Shivamogga and is a postgraduate in English literature. He grew up in Sangh, which he entered in 1968. He began his RSS career as an organizer with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the RSS’s student wing.
