Bhaiyyaji Joshi steps down as Ram Temple Trust's patron, health cited as reason: Report

Senior RSS leader Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi has stepped down as the patron of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, citing health reasons as the official cause, according to a report by Aaj Tak. The Trust has relieved Joshi of his responsibilities, which were primarily associated with organizational guidance and coordination rather than the day-to-day administration of the Trust.

Joshi, who was a senior figure in the RSS and had a close relationship with the Bharatiya Janata Party, was seen as a key link between the two organizations. His appointment as the Trust's Palak during a period of controversy over a land purchase highlighted his significant influence and organizational experience.
