KKN Gurugram Desk | In a strategic move to bolster its organizational structure ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced a comprehensive reshuffle of its state leadership. The new appointments aim to ensure inclusive representation across various social groups and strengthen the party’s grassroots presence.

Key Appointments in the New State Leadership

Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal has introduced a new team comprising:

• 13 Vice Presidents: Including Siddharth Shambhu, Pramod Chandravanshi (MLC), Rajendra Singh, Amrita Bhushan, Dharmshila Gupta, Saroj Ranjan Patel, Dhirendra Kumar Singh, Sanjay Khandeliya, Santosh Pathak, Baby Kumari, Lalita Kushwaha, Ashok Sehni, and Anamika Paswan.

• 5 General Secretaries: Shivesh Ram, Rajesh Verma, Radhamohan Sharma, Lajwanti Jha, and Rakesh Kumar.

• 14 State Ministers: Santosh Ranjan Rai, Ratnesh Kumar Kushwaha, Sanjay Gupta, Trivikram Singh, Dhanraj Sharma, Nandlal Chauhan, Rita Sharma, Bheem Sahu, Ajay Yadav, Anil Thakur, Mukesh Sharma, Manoj Singh, Shobha Singh, and Poonam Ravidar.

• Treasurer and Co-Treasurers: Rakesh Tiwari has been appointed as the State Treasurer, with Ashutosh Shankar Singh and Nitin Abhishek serving as Co-Treasurers.

These appointments reflect the party’s commitment to inclusivity, with representation from various castes, communities, and regions, aiming to resonate with a broad spectrum of the electorate.

Strategic Focus on Social Representation

The BJP’s new leadership structure underscores its emphasis on social engineering to consolidate its voter base. By incorporating leaders from Other Backward Classes (OBCs), Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs), Scheduled Castes (SCs), and Maha Dalit communities, the party seeks to enhance its appeal among these significant demographic groups in Bihar.

Preparations for the 2025 Assembly Elections

With the Bihar Assembly elections slated for October–November 2025, the BJP is intensifying its preparations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visits to Bihar have set the tone for the party’s campaign, emphasizing development and governance. The newly appointed state leadership is expected to play a pivotal role in mobilizing support and executing the party’s election strategy.

The BJP plans to contest the elections as part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), in collaboration with allies such as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas). The alliance aims to present a united front to secure a majority in the 243-member Bihar Legislative Assembly.

Emphasis on Grassroots Engagement

In addition to restructuring its leadership, the BJP is focusing on grassroots engagement. The party has initiated efforts to connect with Bihar residents living in other states, recognizing their potential influence in the elections. Special teams have been deployed to identify and engage with these individuals, highlighting the party’s achievements and encouraging their participation in the electoral process.

The BJP’s announcement of a new state leadership team marks a significant step in its preparations for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. By emphasizing inclusive representation and grassroots engagement, the party aims to strengthen its organizational framework and enhance its appeal across diverse voter segments. As the election approaches, the effectiveness of these strategic moves will be closely observed.
