Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut has claimed that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will be responsible for selecting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s successor. He further asserted that the next leader would hail from Maharashtra.

Raut alleged that Prime Minister Modi’s recent visit to the RSS headquarters in Nagpur was linked to discussions about his retirement plans.
