Patna, Sep 25 (NationPress) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has officially designated its election in-charge for the upcoming elections in Bihar, marking the commencement of its electoral strategy for the state, which is expected to head to the polls by the year's end.

Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan has been appointed as the BJP's election head in Bihar, while C.R. Patil, the Union Minister for Jal Shakti, and Keshav Prasad Maurya, the Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, will serve as Deputy election in-charges.

This announcement was made by BJP President J.P. Nadda. A formal notification issued by BJP national secretary Arun Singh confirmed that these appointments take effect immediately.

With Bihar's elections approaching in November, the state governed by the NDA is preparing for a competitive electoral face-off. There are reports indicating that the Election Commission of India might announce polling dates between Dussehra and Diwali.

The contest is anticipated to be intense, pitting the BJP-led NDA against the Grand Alliance comprising the Congress, RJD, and Left parties. Both alliances are ramping up their public engagement strategies to gain the upper hand.

By placing Dharmendra Pradhan at the helm of electoral efforts, the BJP is banking on his profound insight into the political dynamics of Odisha and Eastern India.

The experience of Keshav Prasad Maurya is expected to play a vital role in tipping the scales in favor of the party in the forthcoming elections, while C.R. Patil's structured and methodical approach is anticipated to enhance the party's election management.

The electoral outcome in Bihar will be closely monitored, as it is seen as the first election following the Congress-led opposition's allegations of 'vote chori', a claim that has gained national attention. The Congress party is heavily relying on this narrative to undermine the BJP's prospects, while the BJP is preparing to counter these 'baseless and frivolous' accusations.
