Various names of Bharatiya Janata Party district and city presidents surfaced on social media before the official announcement on Thursday, raising concerns of confidential information leak. 

Before the BJP observers could open the envelopes and officially announce the names, the city and district presidents, and selected individuals were greeted and congratulated on social media.

While party presidents were announced for Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, Mehsana, and Navsari, other names were set to be rolled out after the Holi festival.

Notably, the BJP high command had carried out the process of selecting party chiefs a month ago. Due to internal skirmishes, the announcements have been delayed, as per reports.

After selection, the envelopes carrying selected names was sealed from Kamalam and sent to observers. However, the list of names was out before an official announcement on Thursday.
