The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday, July 7, announced the appointment of Union ministers Pralhad Joshi and Bhupender Yadav as the in-charge for the Assembly polls in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, respectively.
The party has taken significant steps to strengthen its election campaigns for the upcoming polls in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh, in preparation for the upcoming Assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
According to a statement from the party, former Union minister Prakash Javadekar has been appointed as the poll in charge for Telangana, while another senior party leader, Om Prakash Mathur, will take charge of the elections in Chhattisgarh.
In Rajasthan, former Gujarat deputy chief minister Nitin Patel and Haryana leader Kuldeep Bishnoi have been named co-in-charge for the polls. Meanwhile, Union minister Mansukh Mandaviya has been deployed as the co-in-charge for Chhattisgarh.
For the Madhya Pradesh polls, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will serve as the co-in-charge, while the party’s national general secretary, Sunil Bansal, has been given the same responsibility for Telangana, as stated in the party’s official statement.
These four states, along with Mizoram, are expected to hold their elections in October-November.
After being appointed as the BJP’s poll in-charge in Telangana, Prakash Javadekar expressed confidence in the party’s prospects, stating that the people’s mood in the state is in favour of the BJP. He emphasised the failures of the KCR government in Telangana, asserting that the voters are deeply discontented with the current administration and its policies.
