During Rajju Bhaiya's reign as the RSS Chief, from 1994 to 2000, Seshadri was the second in command, called Sar-kaaryawaaha. When Rajju Bhaiya (real name - Rajendra Singh Thakur) stepped down due to ill-health in March 2000, he suggested that Seshadri take over from him. But Seshadri refused, since he himself was not keeping good health. [2] K S Sudarshan replaced Rajju Bhayya as Sarasanghachaalaka (RSS Chief) and Mohan Bhagwat replaced Seshadri as Sarkaryavah. Sheshadri's association with RSS continued till the very end, as a senior adviser.
