In the Gwalior Chambal area, Baijnath Yadav, who has been the District Panchayat President in the past and has also handled many big responsibilities, has been counted among the close associates of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. He left the Congress along with Scindia and joined the BJP and today he joined the Congress along with his supporters. District Panchayat President of Badarwas Meera Singh and people from other areas also joined the Congress along with him.

In the coming times, the people who went with Scindia will return to the Congress and Scindia alone will be left in the BJP.

    From Shivpuri, Baijnath along with his supporters reached Bhopal in the form of a convoy of several vehicles and joined the Congress in the presence of Congress state president Kamal Nath and other leaders.

    This is the second major setback for Union Minister Scindia. Earlier, Yadvendra Singh Yadav of his area had left BJP and joined Congress.

  • It is a big challenge to form a single BJP government in front of the state BJP’s ‘Emperor’!

    It is a big challenge to form a single BJP government in front of the state BJP’s ‘Emperor’!

    Patna (IANS) | The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has definitely tried to rectify many equations by making Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Samrat Chaudhary the President of Bihar BJP.

    By the way, the biggest challenge before Chaudhary is to form a single-party government for the BJP in Bihar and ensure that the NDA candidates win more than the party’s target of 36 seats in the next year’s Lok Sabha elections.

    The BJP has been in the government in Bihar, but the leader of the BJP has never been able to reach the chief minister’s chair. In the last assembly elections also, NDA got majority and BJP also got the maximum number of seats in NDA, but according to the earlier announcement, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar became.

    After forming the government in Bihar with JDU’s grand alliance, the BJP is not only engaged in strengthening the organization, but is also engaged in the exercise of forming a government in Bihar alone.

    After becoming the president, Samrat Chowdhary also believes that his biggest challenge is to form the BJP government. He said that my priority is to expand the party and form the BJP government in Bihar. At the same time, we will protect the honor and dignity of our workers.

    It is certain from this statement that under his leadership, Chaudhary will not only infuse enthusiasm among the party workers, but will fight a political battle face to face with the Grand Alliance by infusing new energy in them.

    Chaudhary has been identified as an aggressive leader. Chaudhary will also have to make the state committee balanced so that factionalism does not start in the party.

    After getting the command in the hands of Chaudhary, it is certain that the Lok Sabha elections to be held next year and the assembly elections to be held in 2025 will be held during his tenure. In such a situation, a possibility is being expressed that there will be a synergy between the experienced and the youth in the state committee.
