The BJP on Thursday made important appointments for key poll-bound states, including for next year, naming Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Bhupender Yadav as its election in-charge of Bihar and West Bengal, respectively.
The party also appointed Baijayant ‘Jay’ Panda, one of its vice presidents, as the in-charge for the assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, where it is a junior partner to the AIADMK.
The Bihar assembly elections are expected to be held in November, while West Bengal and Tamil Nadu are likely to go to polls in March-April next year.
A BJP statement mentioned that Union minister C. R. Paatil, who heads the party’s Gujarat unit and is considered a capable organisational hand, along with Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, are co-in-charges for the Bihar polls.
Former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb is the co-in-charge for West Bengal, and Union minister Murlidhar Mohol serves as the co-in-charge for Tamil Nadu.
Both Dharmendra Pradhan and Bhupender Yadav are among the most experienced poll managers of the BJP and have overseen elections in several states.
