Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The election to the post of the BJP’s state unit president may be held next week.
The Parliament session is ending on Friday. So, the date for election to the post of state unit president may be announced after the end of the Parliament session.
According to sources in the party, the BJP is planning to hold the election before April 15. The party has to elect its national president this time.
MP is one of the states where the unit heads are yet to be elected before the election of the party’s national president. Two months have passed since the district unit presidents were elected in MP.
Immediately after the election of the district unit heads, the state party president was to be elected, but it was put off for various reasons.
