Jaipur, Feb 18 (NationPress) The BJP has designated Amit Goyal as the new district president of Jaipur city on Tuesday.
With Amit Goyal taking the helm, the party has now appointed 40 out of 44 district presidents, with the remaining four expected to be chosen shortly. Approximately 14 candidates submitted nomination papers for the Jaipur district president position.
The election process was conducted at the Civil Lines community centre, where the election officer assessed all nominations. After thorough discussions, Amit Goyal was unanimously selected for the role. Following his election, Amit Goyal expressed his appreciation to the organization and Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma for their confidence in him.
He remarked, "My primary goal is to collaborate with everyone swiftly to fortify the party. Our key aim will be to ensure a resounding triumph for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the forthcoming municipal elections."
By selecting a district president from the Vaishya community in Jaipur city, the BJP has strategically bolstered its essential voter demographic. The Brahmin and Vaishya communities have been crucial allies of the party in the area.
After electing Brahmin MP Manju Sharma, the party had previously resolved to appoint a district president from the Vaishya community. The BJP has yet to declare district presidents for Jodhpur North, Jhunjhunu, Dausa, and Dholpur.
The announcement for the BJP district president in Dausa, which was initially set for Monday, has been delayed. He assured that feedback from party members would be relayed to the state leadership before the final decision is made.
