Let us tell you that the election of BJP block president was postponed in the constituencies where former rebel and independent MLAs of Congress had joined BJP on 23 March last year. BJP had set a target of conducting elections by 15 December. But due to factionalism, elections were not being held. Now consensus has been reached.

Now the election of the state president is to be held

There are 171 organizational blocks of BJP in the state. Out of these, 169 block presidents have been elected. Similarly, 17 organizational district presidents have also been selected. After this, the election of the state BJP president is to be held. BJP leaders are lobbying for this.

Union Minister of State Dr. Jitendra Singh, who has been made the election officer for the state president election, is coming to Shimla tomorrow to attend a party program. During this, he will discuss with the senior leaders of the state BJP and can announce the new president by January 25.
