BJP president Nitin Nabin on Tuesday appointed Rajya Sabha MP Vinod Tawde and national general secretary as in-charge of party affairs in Uttar Pradesh and newly appointed national secretary Jagdish Ishwarbhai Patel as co-in-charge.
Nabin made Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Chugh in-charge of party affairs in Gujarat. This comes a day after the BJP overhauled its national team under party chief Nitin Nabin, bringing in many new faces and some prominent leaders like former Union minister Smriti Irani as general secretary and former RSS functionary Ram Madhav as vice president. Tawde and Sunil Bansal are the only two national general secretaries that the BJP has retained in its new team. Poonia, former Rajasthan BJP president, is one of the new faces brought into the team of eight national general secretaries.
Gujarat will go to polls later in 2027 While the assembly elections in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh are due early next year.
Newly appointed BJP national general secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Satish Poonia was made in-charge of party affairs in Punjab, according to a notification issued by the party. These appointments have been made in view of the assembly polls next year, according to party sources. Both Tawde and Bansal were rewarded for their impressive organisational work, according to party sources. Sources said the party noted Bansal’s contribution to the BJP’s victory in the West Bengal Assembly polls.
