Piyush Goyal appointed BJP national treasurer in major organizational overhaul
The senior cabinet minister returns as national treasurer in a major BJP reshuffle, retaining his commerce portfolio as the party announces a fresh team of office-bearers.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal as the party's national treasurer, as part of a significant organizational overhaul. This move comes about eight months after Nitin Nabin assumed the presidency of the party. Goyal, who previously held the position from 2010 to 2014, will continue to serve as the national treasurer while also retaining his role as the minister overseeing the commerce and industry sector.
This appointment marks Goyal's return to a key organizational position within the party. He previously served in various cabinet roles, including commerce, power, and railways. Goyal is a chartered accountant and law graduate, holding an all-India second rank in CA and second rank in law from Mumbai University. The BJP's restructured leadership team includes 13 national vice-presidents, eight national general secretaries, and 16 national secretaries.
