Patna, March 4 (NationPress) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is intensifying its preparations for the forthcoming Bihar Assembly Elections with an important State Council meeting set for Tuesday at Bapu Auditorium in Patna.
Dilip Jaiswal is poised to be officially named as the Bihar BJP state president. This meeting will involve participation from various BJP leaders and party workers to devise strategies for the elections.
Several significant decisions regarding the party’s election campaign and leadership structure are anticipated.
Jaiswal has already submitted his nomination for the position and is expected to formally assume the role later today. His nomination papers were presented on Monday to the Election Officer and BJP State General Secretary Rajesh Verma.
His endorsers included Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha, Minister Mangal Pandey, and Legislative Councillor Sanjay Mayukh. Notably, no other candidates have filed nominations, ensuring his ascension.
Union Energy Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is the chief observer for this event. Additionally, Bihar BJP in-Charge Vinod Tawde, Co-in-Charge Deepak Prakash, various ministers from both Bihar and the Central government, along with state officials and district leaders, will be present at the meeting.
More than 6,000 members, including divisional presidents, state officials, and working committee members, are expected to attend. This State Council meeting follows a recent cabinet expansion, highlighting the BJP’s assertive election preparations.
Dilip Jaiswal is currently a member of the Bihar Legislative Council and has long been affiliated with the BJP. He was appointed as the Bihar BJP state president on July 25, 2024, succeeding Samrat Chaudhary.
Previously, he served as the Revenue and Land Reforms Minister in the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government and stepped down from his ministerial role before the cabinet expansion to concentrate on leading the party.
His appointment is viewed as a pivotal move by the BJP in the lead-up to the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. The meeting is likely to outline the BJP’s campaign strategy and roadmap.
With the Delhi elections concluded, the BJP is now focusing entirely on enhancing its influence in Bihar for the Assembly polls.
