Patna, Feb 26 (NationPress) Dilip Jaiswal received a warm reception from BJP leaders at the party office in Patna on Wednesday after submitting his resignation as a Bihar cabinet minister in accordance with the 'one person, one post' policy.
Former Union Minister Radha Mohan Singh remarked, “Dilip Jaiswal has fully embraced his role within the organization following his resignation as cabinet minister,” as he welcomed him at the party headquarters.
Previously, Jaiswal, who serves as the BJP state president, stepped down from his position as Land Reform and Revenue Minister in the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar administration.
The Bihar Governor accepted his resignation after it was forwarded by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Jaiswal's resignation aligns with the BJP’s 'one person, one post' policy. Given his significant influence within the party, he is anticipated to concentrate on bolstering the party’s presence in Bihar.
He also announced that a State Council meeting is scheduled for March 4 at Bapu Auditorium to elect the new BJP state president for a three-year term.
“Over 6,000 BJP leaders, including MPs, MLAs, MLCs, district presidents, and block presidents, will take part in the election process,” Jaiswal stated.
In a related development, the eagerly awaited cabinet expansion in the Nitish Kumar government is set to occur at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday.
Seven legislators have been nominated and forwarded to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for final approval.
This cabinet expansion serves as a strategic initiative by the BJP ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections and is expected to introduce a new political dynamic as the NDA strengthens its foothold in Bihar.
