The new state president of the BJP will be declared in Himachal Pradesh within a week. The names of the current state president, Dr. Rajiv Bindal, MP Rajiv Bhardwaj, Sikandar Kumar, MLA Trilok Jamwal and Rakesh Jamwal are in discussion. At the national level, there has been a buzz about the appointment of the state president.
This process had stopped for the past several months. After the Pahalgam incident, the national leadership of the BJP had stopped the process for some time. Now the work has started on this. The party officials related to the appointments of state presidents have been asked to stay in Delhi. In such a situation, it is possible that Himachal Pradesh BJP will get a new president soon.
The tenure of the current state president Dr. Rajiv Bindal has been completed. There is also a possibility of making Dr. Bindal the state president again. Apart from these, the names of Lok Sabha MP Rajiv Bhardwaj from Kangra-Chamba, Rajya Sabha MP Sikandar Kumar, MLA Trilok Jamwal from Bilaspur and MLA Rakesh Jamwal from Sundernagar are also included. Sikandar Kumar belongs to Hamirpur. He has a good influence in the RSS.
To corner Chief Minister Sukhu from his home district, Sikandar Kumar’s name is very much in the forefront for the post of state president. Rajiv Bhardwaj is the Brahmin face of the party from Kangra. He has worked in the organization for the past several years. MLA Trilok Jamwal and Rakesh Jamwal are young faces. Trilok belongs to Bilaspur and Rakesh belongs to Mandi.
