Sanjay Joshi to visit Ranchi next week

RANCHI: BJP's former national general secretary (organization) Sanjay Joshi is visiting Ranchi on a two-day visit on August 11. The RSS leader, who was in the news because of strained relations with the Narendra Modi camp in Gujarat, was forced to resign from the party in May following which he has been working as the poll manager for BJP president Nitin Gadkari.
Joshi will reach the state capital from New Delhi on August 11.During the day, he will address a seminar on "effects of foreign direct investment in retail sector" organized by Ramji Mishra Manohar Media Foundation at Federation of Jharkhand Chamber of Commerce & Industries (FJCCI). He is scheduled to meet BJP workers, intellectuals, scientists and industrialists during his stay here. Joshi will meet chief minister Arjun Munda at his residence and visit the state BJP headquarters.
The foundation is a trust named after Ramji Mishra Manohar, the editor of an erstwhile Hindi daily Aryavart who died in 1998. Presently headed by K P Jhunjhunwala, the foundation has been organizing seminars and discussions on contemporary issues in Bihar and Jharkhand.
Although Joshi is likely to share his experience of political career and expertise as a technocrat, his visit assumes significance in the wake of recent political developments in Gujarat.
Known for his exceptional organizational skills, Joshi (50) obtained BTech degree in mechanical engineering from Vishweshvaraiya Government Engineering College, Nagpur and also taught the subject at Datta Meghe Engineering College, Nagpur before joining the BJP-RSS in 1980s.
