The entire top brass of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological parent of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), finally got their Twitter handles verified. Those who got their accounts verified include RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Suresh Soni, Krishna Gopal, Arun Kumar, V Bhagiah, Aniruddha Deshpande, and Suresh Joshi. Joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale is the only senior RSS leader who has a social media presence with 431 tweets and 41,000 odd followers. He was only following the RSS’s own verified Twitter handle which was started in 2011. “We came across many fake accounts of sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat, general secretary Suresh Joshi, and joint general secretaries; sometimes there used to be fake posts from these unverified handles,” said an RSS leader.
