Dattatreya Hosabale Re-elected as RSS General Secretary

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) has chosen to re-elect Dattatreya Hosabale as the General Secretary of the RSS for the period from 2024 to 2027.

Hosabale has been serving in this position since 2021.

In a social media post on X, RSS stated, “The RSS Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) re-elected (2024-2027) Shri Dattatreya Hosabale ji for the post of Sarkaryavah. He has been discharging the responsibility of Sarkaryavah since 2021”.

Addressing a press conference in Maharashtra’s Nagpur, Dattatreya Hosabale said, “Sangh is getting into the hearts of the people and the impact of the Sangh is also increasing in the society. The way people welcomed us across the country during the ‘Akshat Vitaran’ before the Pran Pratistha of Ram Lalla shows the environment of the country”.

“Ram temple is the symbol of India’s civilization and its culture. Shri Ram is the civilizational identity of the country, this has been proven time and again and also proven on January 22. Approximately 20 crore houses have been reached by the RSS or people with our ideology, this is a record in India’s history that such a thing has happened in just 15 days,” he said.

Regarding inquiries about electoral bonds, Hosabale remarked, “RSS has not thought anything about this subject. It has not even been discussed here in Pratinidhi Sabah because Electoral bonds is an experiment, such experiments keep happening, there should be checks and balances.”

He stressed the importance of scrutinizing and assessing such systems, noting that the idea of electoral bonds is not entirely new and has been implemented previously.
