Sudarshan is new RSS chief

Amberish K Diwanji in Nagpur

K C Sudarshan is the new Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Sarsanghchalak.

The announcement was made at the Pratinidhi Sabha, or the general assembly, in Nagpur today.

He has taken over from Sarsanghchalak Rajendra Thakur, popularly known as Rajju Bhaiyya.

Speaking to rediff.com, Sudarshan said Sarkaryavah (general secretary) H V Seshadri had been the natural choice for the post. Seshadri refused to accept the post due to ill-health.

Rajju Bhaiyya addressed the 1000-strong gathering for five minutes. As ill-health forced him to stop his talk, a RSS functionary read out his message to the meeting.
