Digital Desk: The BJP continues its organizational reshuffle ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with party president JP Nadda reshuffling the team of central office-bearers. The revised list has 13 vice presidents and nine general secretaries.
Former Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay and Rajya Sabha MP Radha Mohan Agrawal were named national general secretaries. MLC and former Aligarh Muslim University vice-chancellor Tariq Mansoor, a Pasmanda Muslim, was appointed as BJP vice-president.
Anil Antony, the son of veteran Congress politician AK Antony, who joined the BJP earlier this year from the Congress, has been appointed as national secretary.
The BJP dismissed Karnataka politician CT Ravi and Assam Lok Sabha MP Dilip Saikia as its general secretaries. According to PTI, both leaders may be given tickets to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Radha Mohan Singh, a Lok Sabha MP from Bihar and former Union minister, has been removed as the party's vice president.
The changes come only weeks after the BJP appointed new state presidents in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Punjab, and Jharkhand.
Union Minister D Purandeshwari has been appointed as the new state president of Andhra Pradesh. Purandeswari, who joined the BJP in 2014, is the daughter of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder NT Rama Rao. She replaced Somu Veerraju.
Nadda has appointed Union Minister G Kishan Reddy as Telangana's president, replacing Bandi Sanjay. Moreover, former state minister Etela Rajendra has been appointed as the chairman of the BJP's Telangana election management committee.
Telangana Assembly elections are slated for later this year. Andhra Pradesh will have elections with the Lok Sabha elections next year.
In addition, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy has been appointed to the party's national executive.
Sunil Jakhar, who moved from Congress to the BJP, has been appointed as the state Punjab chief. Former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi has been appointed as Jharkhand's new president.
The appointments are being made in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, in which the BJP-led NDA government hopes to retain power for a third consecutive term.
