BJP Leaders Applaud Dilip Jaiswal's Reappointment as Bihar BJP Chief

Patna, March 4 (NationPress) Dilip Jaiswal has been officially reinstated as the President of the Bihar BJP, a decision that has been positively received by party leaders as they prepare for the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections.

The announcement was made by Union Energy Minister Manohar Lal Khattar during the State Council meeting held at Bapu Auditorium in Patna on Tuesday.

Jaiswal expressed his appreciation, stating to IANS, "This is a historic moment for me. I have accepted this challenge and responsibility. I will work towards strengthening the party, taking along all the leaders and workers who have worked tirelessly for the party."

Union Minister Giriraj Singh highlighted the democratic principles of the BJP, telling IANS, "In the Bharatiya Janata Party, any worker appointed to a responsibility is chosen by the workers themselves. Today, during the Bihar Rajya Parishad election meeting, Dilip Jaiswal has been re-nominated as President with full majority."

He further remarked that under Jaiswal’s leadership, the NDA would achieve victory in the forthcoming elections.

Union Minister Nityanand Rai echoed this sentiment to IANS, asserting, "The Bihar unit has selected a diligent and humble leader connected to the grassroots. We will contest the elections under his guidance and establish an NDA government in Bihar."

Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary also celebrated the decision, stating, "Under Jaiswal's leadership, the organization will advance."

BJP leader and Minister Prem Kumar mentioned, "The party has significantly expanded under his leadership. In the 2025 elections, the NDA will again raise its flag of victory and form the government in Bihar."

BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain praised the decision, asserting, "Under Dilip Jaiswal's leadership, the BJP will continue to grow. Furthermore, as Manohar Lal Khattar stated, the NDA government will be formed under Nitish Kumar's leadership. There is immense enthusiasm among party workers, and the NDA is poised to regain power here."

BJP MP Dharmshila Gupta commended Jaiswal's approachability, saying, "He is a leader whose doors remain open 24/7 for party workers. He is a very modest individual."

She expressed her confidence that the NDA would achieve a majority in the upcoming elections.

Originating from Khagaria district in Bihar, Dilip Jaiswal belongs to the Kalwar caste and holds multiple degrees including M.Sc, MBA, PhD, and Master of Philosophy. A three-time MLC for Purnea, Araria, and Kishanganj constituencies, he has served as the BJP’s treasurer for two decades and is recognized as close to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Jaiswal recently stepped down as Bihar's Revenue & Land Reforms Minister following Nitish Kumar's Cabinet expansion. The BJP adheres to the 'One Man, One Post' rule, leading to his resignation.

This change facilitated the induction of seven BJP leaders into Nitish Kumar's Cabinet, a strategic maneuver ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections anticipated in October-November.

His nomination for the state president role was supported by Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary, Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha, Minister Mangal Pandey, and Legislative Councillor Sanjay Mayukh. With no other candidates submitting nominations, his appointment was uncontested.

The State Council meeting, attended by over 6,000 BJP members, focused on enhancing party unity and finalizing election strategies. Key participants included Union Ministers Giriraj Singh and Nityanand Rai, Deputy CMs Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, former Union Ministers Radha Mohan Singh and Ravi Shankar Prasad, Bettiah MP Sanjay Jaiswal, Bihar BJP incharge Vinod Tawde, and Deputy State incharge Deepak Prakash.

With Jaiswal at the helm, the Bihar BJP aims to strengthen its organizational framework and amplify its election campaign, positioning itself for a robust competition in the 2025 Assembly elections.
