Three months after he announced his new team, BJP president JP Nadda reorganized the RSS pracharaks working in the party on Thursday.
While Saudan Singh, a national deputy general secretary who has worked with Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and Amit Shah, has been inducted into the BJP, Shiv Prakash, also a deputy general secretary who was loaned to the party after the 2014 elections, has been in charge of new states. V Satish, another deputy general secretary whose name had circulated as the organization’s new general secretary prior to BL Santhosh’s appointment, has been given a newly created position.
The changes are expected to create new vacancies for new RSS pracharaks in the new core team.
Currently, there are no joint secretaries general for Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Odisha and Uttarakhand.
Saudan Singh took over Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, and Himachal Pradesh. With the protests of the farmers darkening the prospects for the BJP in these states, it would be a challenging task for Singh to coordinate with the RSS to improve the organization.
Shiv Prakash, who has given birth in West Bengal where she has been working with Secretary General Kailash VIjayvargiya, has also been indicted in key states such as Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Their task in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will be tough as the party is trying to present itself as an alternative force; and it has to take back Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. Prakash previously handled party coordination with the RSS in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.
AV Satish has been assigned the new Sanghatak post, with no states except for the coordination of the parliamentary office and the coordination of SC / ST Morcha. Satish’s new position is surprising as he had been managing key states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
