With eye on 2024 polls, BJP set to appoint a few state presidents

With an aim to gear up ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP may make some changes in its organisation, appoint new presidents of a few state units and change roles of some of its leaders in the near future, sources said on Tuesday.

Within the party circles, many people believe that several of its office bearers having relatively less experience in election management may also be replaced, sources said.

It is being discussed in the party that prominent leaders from Gujarat and Maharashtra may be given some key additional assignments, they said.


The BJP is also devising strategies for states such as Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, to repeat and improve from its previous performances that could involve its hands-on leaders in these states.

On Monday and Tuesday, senior BJP leader and Union home minister Amit Shah held a marathon meeting with party president JP Nadda and its general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh, which is being seen as a brainstorming session to fix responsibilities for 2024.

Among its general secretaries - Tarun Chugh, Vinod Tawde and Sunil Bansal have already been given the task of looking after the party's outreach work on those Lok Sabha seats where the BJP is relatively weak.
