Pressure mounts on Sudarshan
New Delhi, April 19
Rashtriya
Swyamsevak Sangh supremo K.S. Sudarshan has come under pressure to
step down, as the saffron circles are rife about his deteriorating
health. Though Mr Sudarshan is relatively junior in age to both Mr
Advani and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, rigours of the
RSS spartan life have affected the RSS chief’s health, a senior BJP
leader said.
