Gujarat to get a new BJP President by the end of this month?

Updated: Nov 26th, 2024


With Gujarat BJP President C R Patil given the responsibilities as the  Union Minister of Jal Shakti, the party is likely to appoint a new BJP President in Gujarat.

While addressing a party meeting in Surat, Patil reportedly suggested leaving the post of state BJP President.

It is believed that a new face has already been entrusted with the responsibility.

Moreover, sources suggest the possibility of a new state president coming from Saurashtra or north Gujarat, and belonging to Other Backward Caste (OBC).

The political consensus is that when the chief minister is from the Patidar community, the chances of a Patidar leader being made the state president are negligible.

Currently, there is discussion in BJP circles about the names of Surat (west) MLA,Purnesh Modi, Kheda MP Devusinh Chauhan, Nikol MLA Jagdish Panchal, and Rajya Sabha MP Mayank Nayak in the race for the new state president.

However, the final take of BJP high command, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and PM Narendra Modi will decide the appointment. Sources say that the name is likely to be announced by the end of this month.
