BJP names Dharmendra Pradhan in charge of Bihar elections, Bhupendra Yadav for West Bengal

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made key appointments in poll-bound states on Thursday (September 25). The party has appointed Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Bhupender Yadav in charge of the Bihar and West Bengal election.

The party has appointed Baijayant “Jay” Panda, one of its vice-presidents, in charge of the parliamentary elections in Tamil Nadu. The saffron party will contest the elections in alliance with the AIADMK.

While the Bihar assembly elections are expected to be held in November, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu are expected to go to polls in March-April.
Union Minister CR Paatil, who heads the party’s unit for Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya are joint in-charge of the Bihar elections.

Former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb is the co-in-charge of West Bengal and Union Minister Murlidhar Mohol is the co-in-charge of Tamil Nadu, he added.

Both Pradhan and Yadav are among the BJP’s most experienced returning officers and have overseen elections in several states.
