JP Nadda Appointed as BJP In-charge For Uttarakhand Polls
Union minister Prakash Javadekar has been appointed as election in-charge for the Manipur Assembly election
Union ministers JP Nadda and Dharmendra Pradhan were appointed as party in-charges for the Uttarakhand assembly polls by BJP President Amit Shah on Wednesday.
Shah also appointed Union minister Prakash Javadekar as election in charge for the Manipur Assembly election.
The polls in Uttarakhand are important for the BJP as it seeks to topple the current Harish Rawat-led Congress. The party has been spearheading a mass campaign in the state, alleging cases of corruption at the hands of the Rawat government.
While BJP’s ranks have been strengthened after a number of rebel Congress MLAs joined it, Chief Minister Harish Rawat believes that he will have sympathy of voters after he managed to keep BJP at bay.
In Manipur, which also goes to polls early next year, Congress has been in power for the last 15 years and BJP is working towards putting up a strong fight.
