Former CBI Director M Nageshwar Rao took charge as Sarvajana Sanatan Party national president in Varanasi on Saturday, October 4, 2026. Rao, who served nearly four decades in security, law and order, and administration, announced his transition to active politics from Kashi. He stated the party aims to pair modern development with Sanatan civilisational roots, framing it as a way of life beyond worship.
