The BJP has appointed former national general secretary Ram Madhav and Union minister G Kishan Reddy as in-charges for the upcoming assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. The appointment was announced by party national general secretary Arun Singh and takes effect immediately.

The BJP has stepped up its preparations for the upcoming assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir with strategic appointments. On Tuesday, the party named Ram Madhav, its former national general secretary, and Union minister G Kishan Reddy as election in-charges.

Party national general secretary Arun Singh released an official statement confirming these appointments, which take immediate effect. ''BJP national president JP Nadda has appointed Ram Madhav and Union minister G Kishan Reddy as election in-charges for the upcoming assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir,'' said the statement.

Ram Madhav, who served as national general secretary from 2014 to 2020, played a key role in managing the political landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, and other Northeastern states. In a reshuffle on September 26, 2020, the BJP replaced Madhav and several other general secretaries to introduce new faces to its core team.
