8 MP Leaders Get Key Posts In BJP’s New National Team

Madhya Pradesh has heavily influenced the BJP's newly announced national team, which was revealed on Monday. The previous team comprised only three representatives from the state, but the new lineup features seven members from Madhya Pradesh. Among the newcomers to the national team is Saudan Singh, a resident of the state, who has been appointed as the co-organizational general secretary.

Gajendra Patel, an MP from Khargone, has been designated as the national general secretary, while former minister Lal Singh Arya has become the national vice president. Rajya Sabha MP Kavita Patidar has been appointed as the national secretary, and Banshilal Gurjar, another Rajya Sabha member, has been selected as the national president of the Kisan Morcha.

The party's state media head, Ashish Agarwal, has been appointed as the national co-coordinator of the media cell. Tarun Chug, who was tasked with overseeing the national office, is an MP from the state. Before these appointments, the party had taken into account the caste dynamics within Madhya Pradesh, with Patel belonging to a tribal community, Arya to the Scheduled Caste category, Patidar and Gurjar to the Other Backward Class category, and Singh to the Kshatriya clan.

Notably, for the first time, politicians from Madhya Pradesh, including Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Kailash Vijayvargiya, Narendra Tomar, Prahlad Patel, and Rakesh Singh, have found their way into the party's national team.
