The names of 23 national spokespersons have also been released.
The important organizational post in the party is considered to be that of the General Secretary in terms of engagement between the state and the central leadership. In the list of eight general secretaries in the new team, five new faces have been included keeping Bhupendra Yadav, Arun Singh and Kailash Vijayvargiya. However, new faces have been included in place of Ram Madhav, P Muralidhar Rao, Saroj Pandey and Anil Jain. Dushyant Kumar Gautam, D. Purandareswari, CT Ravi, Tarun Chugh and Dilip Saikia will be the new general secretaries. BJP MP Tejashwi Surya has been made the chairman of the party’s youth unit. He will replace Poonam Mahajan. The party has also expanded its list of spokespersons. Now 23 spokespersons have been given place in it. In this, MP Anil Baluni has been made the chief spokesperson and the remaining spokesperson will be ‘media heads’.
Earlier in April, a new team was to be announced, but due to the Corona virus epidemic (Covid-19) and then the lockdown, BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda had to postpone the announcement of his team.
According to sources, JP Nadda had prepared a list of national officials a few months back after brainstorming with senior leaders. But due to the corona epidemic, the party high command could neither give a green signal to the new team by calling a meeting of the national executive and council nor could call a meeting of national officials. Hence the announcement of the new team was postponed.
