Patna: In a major organisational move ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, BJP State President Dilip Jaiswal on Saturday released the much-anticipated list of new state-level party officials.

A total of 35 leaders have been entrusted with key responsibilities within the party.

This announcement comes just a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Patna on May 29 and 30, where he inaugurated the new terminal of Patna Airport, laid the foundation stone for Bihta Airport, and held a grand roadshow culminating in a high-level strategy meeting at the BJP state office.

Among the new appointments were 14 state ministers, 13 state vice-presidents, five state general secretaries and three state treasurers.

According to sources, the appointments were finalised during the closed-door meeting between PM Modi and senior BJP leaders at the BJP state headquarters following the roadshow.

The decisions are seen as a part of the party’s preparation and internal strengthening ahead of the high-stakes assembly polls.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Bihar was not only marked by grand inaugurations and public outreach but also by a decisive internal message to BJP leaders.

During a closed-door meeting with state-level leaders at the BJP office on May 29, the Prime Minister reportedly made clear and sharp remarks on issues ranging from loyalty and internal democracy to nepotism and leadership ethics.
