Uttarakhand BJP begins organizational polls post civic polls; new president by March

Dehradun: The Bhartiya Janata Party’s Uttarakhand unit is likely to get a new president by March. After the end of the Urban Local Bodies’ elections in the state, the BJP’s state unit has now started its process for the organizational polls.

The party may unanimously get elected its “Mandal” (zonal) and district presidents after holding proper consultation. This process is likely to be completed by February 28 and thus chances are that the party will take a decision on the name of its president for the state unit.

New face or the current president?

Within the party organization, the discussion is on if the current party president Mahendra Bhatt continues to lead the party. Sources do not rule the possibility of the selection of a new face for the post of party president.
