BJP Leaders Celebrate Reappointment of Dilip Jaiswal as Bihar Party Chief

Patna, March 4 (NationPress) Dilip Jaiswal has been officially reappointed as the President of Bihar BJP, a strategic move applauded 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.

Expressing his appreciation, Jaiswal stated to IANS, "This is a historic moment for me. I have embraced this challenge and responsibility. I will strive to fortify the party, involving all leaders and workers who have tirelessly contributed to the party's efforts."

Union Minister Giriraj Singh highlighted the democratic essence of the BJP, stating to IANS, "In the Bharatiya Janata Party, any worker who is entrusted with 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 unanimous support."

He added that under Jaiswal's leadership, the NDA is poised for victory in the forthcoming elections.

Union Minister Nityanand Rai echoed this perspective, 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 applauded the decision, claiming, "Under Jaiswal's leadership, the organization will thrive."

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

BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain praised the decision, stating, "Under Dilip Jaiswal's leadership, the BJP will continue to flourish. Furthermore, as Manohar Lal Khattar has pointed out, the NDA government will be established under Nitish Kumar's guidance. There is considerable enthusiasm among party workers, and the NDA is poised to regain power here."

Speaking to IANS, BJP MP Dharmshila Gupta commended Jaiswal's approachability, saying, "He is a leader whose doors are always open for party workers. He is a very down-to-earth person."

She expressed 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 advanced degrees including M.Sc, MBA, PhD, and Master of Philosophy. A three-time MLC from Purnea, Araria, and Kishanganj constituencies, he has served as BJP's treasurer for two decades and maintains a close relationship with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Recently, Jaiswal stepped down as Bihar's Revenue & Land Reforms Minister following the expansion of Nitish Kumar's Cabinet. The BJP adheres to the 'One Man, One Post' policy, which necessitated his resignation.

This transition facilitated the inclusion of seven BJP leaders into Nitish Kumar's Cabinet, marking a tactical move ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections anticipated in October-November.

His nomination for the state president role received endorsement from 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 unopposed.

The State Council meeting, attended by over 6,000 BJP members, concentrated on reinforcing party unity and finalizing election strategies. Notable attendees 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 in-charge Vinod Tawde, and Deputy State in-charge Deepak Prakash.

With Jaiswal leading the way, the Bihar BJP aims to enhance its organizational framework and amplify its election campaign, preparing for a robust challenge in the 2025 Assembly elections.
