The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a strategic move by appointing former MP Ravindra Kumar Rai as the working president of its Jharkhand Pradesh unit as the state braces for assembly elections.
National general secretary Arun Singh announced the decision on Saturday, indicating that Rai's appointment is effective immediately.
This change in leadership comes as the state prepares for its assembly polls in November, in two phases, on the 13th and 20th. The counting of votes will take place on November 23. Ravindra Kumar Rai's appointment follows Babulal Marandi, who took over as the party's state chief last July.
