According to sources, another RSS leader Shiv Prakash has also been deputed by the Sangh to work for the party now. Prakash was a regional 'pracharak' of RSS in western Uttar Pradesh, a state where BJP had put up a splendid show in recent Lok Sabha elections.
The two RSS leaders are likely to find a prominent place in reorganized BJP that is also expected to see a new President as incumbent Rajnath Singh may relinquish his charge of the party after becomming Union Home Minister.
The Sangh, the ideological mentor of BJP, had earlier too deputed many of its leaders from time to time, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had been a full-time RSS 'pracharak' (organiser), in the party.
Sources say Ram Madhav is likely to be one of the new BJP general secretaries in the party-set up proposed to be reorganized after government formation as several party leaders have joined the ministerial council of Modi.
Party general secretary Amit Shah is said to be leading the race for the post of BJP President.
Among many other BJP leaders who were earlier part of the Sangh are general secretaries Murlidhar Rao and Ram Lal.
