RSS Leader Bhaiyyaji Joshi Steps Down as Ram Mandir Trust Patron Amid Donation Probe
Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi, a senior RSS leader and Patron of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, has stepped down citing health reasons amid an internal reshuffle. Joshi, 78, played an advisory role with limited public presence and was appointed following past concerns over land purchase irregularities. The Trust is currently under investigation for alleged missing donation funds related to the Ram Temple construction, though no official link between Joshi's resignation and the probe has been confirmed.
